Hey Langdon, old partner,
old buddy, old pal of mine.
What? We gonna do
this one more time?
Yeah, we're gonna do it again.
Alright.
But this time I'm gonna do it by myself.
By yourself?
Yeah, I'm gonna sing it by myself. Why?
I've been singing the
whole song with you.
Oh, I know.
And you've been doing a really good job,
too.
But see, now it's a little bit lower. Okay?
So I think I better sing it by myself.
What's that got
Well, everybody knows
when you're singing low like that,
it's sexier for one man
to sing by himself.
Really?
Yeah, just play your guitar.
Alright, I got it. I got it. Yeah.
Lay you down, softly whisper
pretty love words in your ear.

I gotta be honest with you,
I didn't think that was sexy
Well, it takes a little time, really
But I tell you what,
we've taken it down another step,
right?
It's getting closer, yeah
I'm gonna take a shot at it, alright?
Okay
I'm gonna do this one, okay?

Just play your guitar, okay?

What's that?
It was just lower, but that was it.
Well, I think we're getting there.
Oh really?
We're getting a little closer
to the sexy level?
Yeah, we're lower now, okay?
Okay.
So this ought to be, you know,
a little bit sexier, okay?
You can do it again?
Sure, I'll try, yeah.
Here we go.

Alright, that was fun.
Let's go on to another song.
No, no, no, no, look.
I'll tell what we've done here,
alright?
We've taken this song down
a whole octave.
I noticed.
From whence we first begun. Right.
Remember that?
Yeah, I remember.
A long time ago.
So I tell you what.
Since you started this awful mess,
why don't you try to get us
out of it, alright?
You just want me to try
because you don't think I
can sing at this low,
right? exactly right.
Do you promise if I do it this time,
we can stop and go to
another song?
I promise. You promise.
One more time and we'll stop.
Okay.
Because I'm tired of hearing you sing,
alright?
Okay.
You got another one in you?
We'll see.
