GEORGE: I guess I just haven't got it. That's all.
-
GRACIE: George, don't be ridiculous, you're great.
-
You've got a beautiful singing voice.
-
GEORGE: No, they want a younger man.
-
GRACIE: What do they know?
-
Eddie Fisher, Perry Como,
-
Tony Martin, well you're better than the three of them put together.
-
You're younger than the three of them put together. [LAUGHTER]
-
GEORGE: Why?
-
I love her, that's why.
-
Joe, that's a direct cue. [MUSIC]
-
She wakes me up when I'm in slumber deep,
-
to ask me if I really am asleep.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
I love her, that's why.
-
She calls the doctor when I need some bread,
-
and calls the banker when I'm sick in bed.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
Well, I love her, that's why.
-
Life with her is unpredictable,
-
but I'm a guy who knows no fear.
-
Her jibber-jabbering may puzzle you and me,
-
but to her, it's perfectly clear.
-
She'll make a date with me then make me wait,
-
and then she'll bawl me out for being late.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
I love her, that's why.
-
GRACIE: He serenades me
-
with that gravel voice.
-
I have to listen because I have no choice.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
I love him, that's why.
-
He'll keep repeating all his corny jokes and making snide remarks about my folks.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
I love him, that's why.
-
Life with him is so lugubrious.
-
Whatever that may mean, I'm sure.
-
He calls me sweetie pie
-
but never tells me why.
-
Now you see what I must endure.
-
He'll start to quarrel over silly things like wrecking cars or losing diamond rings.
-
Why do I stand for it?
-
I love him, that's why. [MUSIC]
-
MAN: We can't fight it. What do we care what people think? We know it's right.
-
WOMAN: What about my husband? What will I tell him? [APPLAUSE]
