How to make two lover s a friend.

Well, Ted,

I'm working in this new crib now,

where they have me heading my

own show.

And believe you me,

it's a far cry

from the Pottsville roadhouse

circuit.

From the business we're doing these nights,

one would never suspect

there is a world conflagration going on,


but nevertheless, such is the case.

Some nice looking mice in the line,

most of them are spoken for,


but you know your old pal.

Remember the house party in Allentown?

I scored with three last week.

in their dressing rooms,

room closets, water coolers.

How did you like the song?
