Performed on the I Love Lucy episode Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined by William Frawley and Vivian Vance.
We’ve always thought
Knowledge is naught,
We should be taught to dance,
Right here at Tate
we’re up to date,
(Sweet Sue, as sung by Lucille Ball on the I Love Lucy episode, Mr. and Mrs. TV Show)
Every star above, baby,
Knows the one I love:
Sweet Sue – just you!
Music and Lyrics by Chet Forrest and Bob Wright, sung by Lucille Ball in the Bailey Brothers Burlesque Theater
I am not a goody-goody,
Just a baby in the woody
Love has got me worried and perplexed
Gosh oh gee, I want my momma
Goodness me, I need my momma
Maybe she could tell me what comes next.
(words by Errell Reaves, Music by Tolchard Evans)
[“Goodnight, Ladies” is a folk song attributed to Edwin Pearce Christy, originally intended to be sung during a minstrel show. Drawing from an 1847 song by Christy entitled “Farewell, Ladies”, the song as known today was first published on May 16, 1867.]
Jonathan Street is a struggling composer when he meets and marries Annette. The problem is that Jonathan was drunk and does not want to be married. Annette does go with him to Paris and does the cooking and cleaning. To get his music published, Annette takes it to Paul and he is won over – by her voice and not the music. So he manages her career and she becomes a star as an opera singer everywhere she goes. Since Jonathan cannot sell anything he writes, he leaves Annette. That makes Annette sad as she wants only to be his wife.
The Comedy of Terrors is a hilarious horror spoof. A funeral director, who is in arrears on his rent, aggressively pursues customers to bolster his business … And the fact that they haven’t died yet doesn’t bother him at all!
In The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer is a classic screwball comedy. Through no fault of his own, artist and lady’s man Richard Nugent finds a teenage girl curled on his sofa. The teen’s sister is a judge who “sentences” thunderstruck Richard to date the girl until her schoolgirl crush wanes. Circumstances aren’t kind to Richard. But they certainly are hilarious!
