Jimmy Higgens : Who writes the words and music, For all the girlie shows? No one cares, And no one knows, Who is the handsome hero, Some villain always frames? But who cares if there's a plot or not, When they've got a lot of dames?

Jimmy Higgens : [singing] All you cute and cunning, Young and beautiful dames, Oh, dames are necessary, To show business, Dames, without you there would be, No business, Your knees in action, That's the attraction, And what good's a show, Without you beautiful dames?
