[00:36.38]
[00:36.62] ah! oh! we got some noisy females in the house tonight!
[00:44.97]
[00:46.78] i do like to hear that high-pitched sound, you know i do.
[00:52.81] oh, being a woman is so interesting don't you find it?
[00:56.78] what are we ladies, what are we?
[00:58.41] we are waitresses at the banquet of life!

[01:07.70] and you better look pretty god-damned good doing it

[01:26.46] ain't it just great to be in love?
[01:28.61] oh, ain't it wonderful?
[01:31.02] isn't it wonderful to be in love?
[01:34.26] ain't it just grand laying there late at night in bed
[01:37.16] waiting for your man to show up?
[01:40.09] and when he finally does, round about four o'clock in the morning
[01:44.41] with whiskey on his breath
[01:46.50] and the smell of another woman on his person...
[01:50.07]
[01:50.79] oh, honey i can smell another woman at five hundred paces!
[01:54.44] that's a easy one to catch!
[01:59.04]
[02:01.97] so what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him?
[02:06.96] do you say, "oh, honey, let me open up my loving arms and my loving legs!
[02:11.61] dive right in, baby, the water's fine!"
