"And now, And now, And now!
2
Comes my favorite part.
3
This is the part where
4
I get to expose myself,
5
to... Cleveland.
6
All my hopes, fears,
7
dreams and desires,
8
right here, right now,
9
in this little section.
10
I have been in showbusiness
11
for 10 years and every time
12
I have to go back on the stage
13
I have this dream,
14
That I am trapped in an act,
15
not of my own design,
16
In this act, I demonstrate
17
the kind of performer I might
18
have become, had I not been
19
blessed with brains,
20
talent and gorgeous tits!
21
Yes indeed Ladies and Germs,
22
in this, in this dream I demonstrate
23
the kind of preformer I would have
24
become had I only been blessed
25
with gorgeous tits, yes, here they are!
26
Here thay are, You've read about them
27
in people magazine, they were featured
28
on the cover of life.
29
Octover 1st, 1954,
30
3 year old baby with 38 inch chest.
31
That was something to behold! Ahh.
32
Now, the name of the performer
33
that I play in my dream is 'Vicki Eydie',
34
Vickie Eydie is definitely a lounge act,
35
Vickie Eydie is not the kind performer
36
who goes around singing any old kind of song
37
she wants to sing, you understand!
38
No, this act, what can I call it? It is a global revue,
39
She does not, of course, travel alone, no,
40
She has hired a once famous, singing trio!
41
'The Dazzling Eat-ettes'
42
And if I am not mistake, here they
43
comes this very mimette,
44
minute!! Here they come!
45
'The Dazzling Eat-ettes'
46
Oh God! Welcome to my nightmare!"
47
"And now!
48
The 'Plywood Room'
49
high atop 'Swingos Celebrity Motor Lodge'
50
in gorgeous downtown 'Seven Hills'
51
is thrilled to present,
52
The inevitable song stylings
53
of the internationnally acclaimed
54
Miss Vicki Eydie!
55
In her internationnally acclaimed
56
'Around the world Revue' entitled
57
'Around the world in 80 ways!'
58
And now, he-e-e-ere's Vicki!!
59
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
60
Around the world Ive searched
61
for you, I traveled on when hope
62
was gone to keep a rendezvous.
63
Say, I knew somewhere, sometime,
64
somehow, you would look at me
65
and I would see the smile youre smiling now. OOH!
66
It might have been in County Down,
67
or in New York, or Gay Paree,
68
or even, London Town.
69
Hey! What difference does it make?
70
No more will I go all around the world,
71
for I have found my world in,
72
Y-O-U, HEY! Ha!
73
"What difference does it make!?
74
Jokers, Tokers and Smokers!
75
How are you tonight!?
76
Where are you tonight!?
77
And how does your sign say!?
78
Have we got a little treat in store for you tonight!
79
We're gonna take you on a wonderful little
80
trip around this glorious little globe of ours!
81
we feature songs of many colors, and flags of lots of nations
82
And the first stop on this whirl-wind cavelcade.
83
The exotic Middle East!
84
With a veritable 'turbular' tune.
85
Here we go, Girls! OW!"
86
Istanbul was Constantinople
87
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
88
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
89
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
90
Every gal in Constantinople
91
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
92
So if you've got a date in Constantinople
93
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
94
Even old New York
95
Was once New Amsterdam, Hey!
96
Why they changed it I can't say
97
People just liked it better that way
98
Nya, Nya, Nya!
99
Sing the song Girls!
100
Nya, Nya, Nya!
101
[Repeated]
102
Sing out, Sing out.
103
Nya, Nya, Nya!...
104
Wow!
105
So take me back to Constantinople
106
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
107
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
108
Why did Constantinople get the works
109
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
110
HEY!!!
111
"But no time to linger!
112
No time to linger!
113
Vicki Eydie gets preposterous
114
on the bosperous!
115
But as I say no time to linger
116
in the Auderman empire,
117
For I hear by the sound of the
118
castanettes, we are off,
119
off, off, off we are off.
120
Off to Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-azil! a-Br-r-razil. Brazil...
121
Land of hope, Land of hemp.
122
Hmmmm.
123
I wrote this next musical composition
124
for the festival at 'Piranha Del-Rey'
125
Unfortunately I did not win
126
that particular festival,
127
OtherwiseIi would not be here in,
128
er... Cleveland! Tonight
129
But makes no, nevermind!
130
For me, this song sums up the
131
essence of the Latin-American experience.
132
See if you don't understand what I mean"
133
It was Fiesta.
134
Tropical moonlight.
135
It was, it was Fiesta
136
and he held me so tight.
137
I thought, I thought I was dying.
138
But I just had the clap.
139
It was Fiesta
140
and I had the clap.
141
What to do in Rio,
142
when you can't even pee-o?
143
I had a bum time,
144
though it was fiesta.
145
I-I-I-I-I-I-I!
146
When he turned the light down low
147
he said, "Oh Miss Vickie, I, I want you so."
148
I was a forced, forced to remove myself from his lap.
149
You take care at Fiesta. You beware, beware at Fiesta.
150
Oh there at Fiesta, he will give you the . . .
151
[ Clapping to beat ]
152
Wa-hoo, Hey!
153
"Catchy, huh?
154
Yeah, I thought you'd enjoy that!
155
But no time to linger in South America,
156
For I hear by the sound of the slide guitar,
157
That it is time for us to move along,
158
Yes, indeed Ladies and gentlemen,
159
we are on our way, and just in time
160
for Vicki Eydie's South Sea Adventure!
161
Ahh, the South Sea's, The South Sea's,
162
where I found peace, contentment and
163
many tropical fruits I had not known before!
164
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Vicki Eydie eats papaya!
165
We are about to recreatefor you, one the most beautiful
166
and sensual of all the native rituals for you and
167
here are some beautiful and sensual native's right now!"
168
In the south sea island of Tawanga,
169
I let myself go.
170
What a beautiful setting for romancing,
171
and the palms sway too and fro.
172
And the island men are so handsome,
173
they make you really know,
174
what it's like not to be left lonely
175
as they sing soft and low.
176
If you're cracking up from having lack of shaking up.
177
If you're cracking up from having lack of shaking up.
178
If you're cracking up, why don't you pack it up?

187
They took me down by the waterfall,
188
they showed me their island ways.
189
They gave me beautiful flowers,
190
and pretty good island lays.
191
I forgot about what was right,
192
and I learned what was very bad.
193
But now I am the princess of the island,
194
and they make me feel very glad.
195
If you're cracking up from having lack of shaking up.
196
