How’s your love life?
Well thank your lucky stars,
Yes thank your lucky stars,
It’s doin’ fine!
Keep your love life
As sweet as candy bars,
And thank your lucky stars
Like I thank mine.
How sweet you are, how sweet you are,
How dear your tenderly smiling face,

Through nights when even the stars are dim,
In Sweet Rosie O’Grady, a snobby star feuds with a reporter who exposed her burlesque past.

But there’s a definite decrease in the comedy, and in the pace of the film, when Lucille Ball is off-screen. With a few notable examples.
