Will you give me a hand there, Alice...here, pull my arm...no, the other arm...just pull it... pull it...thats it. -Moonlight and shadows and you in my arms. And the melody in the bamboo tree, my sweet. Even in shadows... -Hold it, somebody stop the bubble machine. The whole ballroom is lathering up with bubbles. And now I can't see the cameras. Here, let me set that accordion down on the stage and I'll try to fix that. Bear with us, folks just a moment please. Gee, the time is running out and we haven't even played the polka. Wait a minute, boys, I didn't mean...hold it, Alice, don't polka on my accordion. -Gee, Dad, it was a Wurlitzer. Hit the theme, boys. And so its goodnight from all the champagne... wheres the cameras...theres so many bubbles I can't...and so, friends, we...help, the whole ballroom is shoving off to sea... -Sure is a clear night, ain't it, Captain? -Yup, Matey, these are the kind of nights when the sea plays tricks on ye. -Yeah, I recollect one night off Singapore... -Tricks, I say, like that mirage off the port bow, now. -What? -See it there, kinda bubbly looking in the moonlight? -Oh, yeah. Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like the Aragon Ballroom. -Yeah...dee-deedee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee -Hey, thats a catchy chantey you're humming there, Captain. What is it? -Oh, I don't know. Just keeps running through my head. -Let's go below and catch a little shut-eye. -Help! Help! Wunerful, wunerful. Turn off the bubble machine. Help...help...
