See You in the Funny Papers
[SAM, spoken]
"Ally Cat"? No... "Sour Puss"? No... Well, let's keep it simple and direct: How about "Tessie Cat"? Poy-fect!
(sung)
Bye bye, honey
See ya in the funny papers soon
Bye bye, baby
See ya in the funny papers, maybe Thursday afternoon?
Or maybe sooner, let's keep it in doubt
It's such a sweet beginning, I want to draw it out
So though it's just an old expression
It seems appropriate now
I'll see ya in the funny papers
Adio', auf wiedersehen, nyow

(spoken)
Okay, now, let's see... We'll give her a really big mouth, so she can put her paw in it. And teeny boobs because she's got so little to get off her chest. Ha ha, beautiful! Ha ha ha, I hate her already!

(sung)
Your voice and manner
Get under my skin
We'll meet again, I promise
I'll pencil something in
But for the moment, let's not rush it
The swift entanglements end
I'll see ya in the funny papers
You'll be there, don't worry, my friend
(spoken)
Well, there she is Katz. Go get her! S. Craig
