00:02:01That'll be all
00:02:02Get them out as soon as you can
00:02:03Yes, sir
00:02:04Oh, Butterfly
00:02:05Yes, Mr. Dung-Dung
00:02:07Did you call the agent
00:02:08And tell them
00:02:08They'd need a magician
00:02:09To replace the great voodoo?
00:02:10Yes, sir
00:02:11I told him the great voodoo
00:02:13Did a disappearing act yesterday
00:02:14And didn't show up for rehearsal
00:02:16He's going to send us another magician
00:02:18Fine
00:02:20Oh, and when my fiance shows up
00:02:22Send her right in
00:02:23Yes
00:02:39They're real, honey
00:02:41I should hope so
00:02:42Butterfly told me to go right in
00:02:45So I did
00:02:45I fled
00:02:47Take off your coat
00:03:02Oh, Montemore
00:03:03The oppression
00:03:05You could say that again, honey
00:03:08Excuse me, honey
00:03:10Mr. Dung-Dung
00:03:11That magician the agent sent over here
00:03:14Has his name is
00:03:16Dusty Fletcher
00:03:17Never heard of her
00:03:18Tell him to wait
00:03:19Yes, sir
00:03:22Help me with these, darling
00:03:24Uh-huh
00:03:30There we are
00:03:33For this
00:03:34You deserve a big kiss
00:03:39Well
00:03:39I've been welcome before
00:03:42But never like this
00:03:43I guess I shall return the compliment
00:03:46Come here, baby
00:03:48Why, you, I should break your neck
00:03:50A minute
00:03:53Careful, careful
00:03:54Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
00:03:57You see, uh
00:03:58Entering the room
00:03:59Without coming through the door
00:04:00That's just a sample of my ability
00:04:02I developed that trick
00:04:04Because I had difficulties
00:04:06In getting someone
00:04:07To open the door
00:04:08Ah, say, ah
00:04:10Your name ain't Richard James, is it?
00:04:12No, it's Montemore
00:04:13But I'm Mr. Dung-Dung to you
00:04:16Oh
00:04:16Okay, boss
00:04:18And I'm not your boss
00:04:19Until I see your act
00:04:21Step right out on the stage
00:04:23I'm all set up for you
00:04:24Come on, honey
00:04:25Let's see what this guy
00:04:26Has up his sleeve
00:04:38What's your name?
00:04:39Butterfly
00:04:40Pretty gal
00:04:42And a pretty name
00:04:45I'll be back
00:04:47Pretty soon
00:04:54Well, you see
00:04:54I had to set up my props, buddy
00:04:56So I wouldn't lose any time
00:04:58Okay, let's go
00:04:59Mm-hmm
00:05:00But, madam
00:05:01Would you mind
00:05:02Assisting me
00:05:03By stepping into this cabinet?
00:05:05She will not
00:05:06You've got your nerve
00:05:08I know I've got my nerve
00:05:10But I ain't got no assistant
00:05:13Oh, Montemore, let me
00:05:14I have always wanted
00:05:16To be a play actor
00:05:24Where is she?
00:05:25She's gone
00:05:28Huh?
00:05:29What's the matter?
00:05:31Something wrong?
00:05:33If you want to lose that gal
00:05:36Everything would be fine
00:05:37Cause they sure is empty now
00:05:45Bring her back
00:05:46Or I've got to do something desperate
00:05:49And so am I
00:05:51I'm going to return these cabin tricks
00:05:54And get my money back
00:05:56Close all the doors

00:06:32No, but you don't understand
00:06:33You see, she was hid
00:06:34She got into the cabin
00:06:35And all of a sudden
00:06:36She got out of here

00:20:27And now, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to introduce a very clever song stylist, Beverly White.
00:20:46Marriage was a beautiful thing.
00:20:52Yes, back in grandma's day.
00:20:57But you men are so much different now.
00:21:05That's why you hear me say...
00:21:19I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:21:30I don't want to get married, cause two don't live as happily as one.
00:21:39Now, I might want to stay out late sometimes to wait next day.
00:21:45And I don't want to be worried about what my husband's gonna say.
00:21:50That's why I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:21:59Oh, I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:22:10I don't want to get married, cause two don't live as happily as one.
00:22:22Marriage license don't live as well.
00:22:24Marriage license don't cost much.
00:22:25Marriage license don't cost much, that's beyond a doubt.
00:22:27But it's that jive that jumps off afterwards.
00:22:30That's what I'm talking about.
00:22:32That's why I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:22:43Oh, I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:22:55I don't want to get married, cause you don't live as happily as one.
00:23:04Now, if you happen to meet a guy and see he ain't your kind,
00:23:10well, if there ain't no strength attached all you gotta do is just change your mind.
00:23:14Oh, I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:23:25Oh, I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:23:37I don't want to get married, cause two don't live as happily as one.
00:23:45I went down to see my sister, she's got kids one, two, and three.
00:23:51Well, that jive's alright for sister, but that dress ain't made for me.
00:23:56Oh, I don't want to get married, cause when you're single you have so much fun.
00:24:13Ask me, I know.
00:24:22You know, I used to sit and wonder why I could never get along with my man.
00:24:32You see, that's the kind of jive I'm talking about, everybody meddling in my business.
00:24:37That's why I decided to change my plans.
00:24:41Mm-hmm, and you know, I ain't having no more trouble now.
00:24:47Everything is just as cool as it can be.
00:24:51But honey, that wasn't until I had to tell every living...
00:24:59I was almost gone.
00:25:01To please stop worrying about me.
00:25:11Cause, if I feel like playing the jukebox, wearing flat heels and barbie socks, that ain't nobody's business what I
00:25:21do.
00:25:23And if I go overboard for some fine honey, and let him use my money, that ain't nobody's business what
00:25:31I do.
00:25:45If my man goes to his union meeting, and I feel like doing some cheating, that ain't nobody's business what
00:25:54I do.
00:26:02And if you happen to see me out kind of late, well, I'm doing the same thing you're doing, getting
00:26:12my business straight, and that ain't what I do.
00:26:17Now, if I look like I'm 50, and he's just 23, don't you lose no sleep honey, cause he must
00:26:26be sending me.
00:26:28If I feel like going out and having some fun with some young cat that looks like he might be
00:26:34my son, that ain't nobody's business what I do.
00:26:40Now, here's one thing, you know it's true, there ain't nothing more invigorating than to surround yourself with you.
00:26:48And it ain't nobody's business what I do.
00:26:50So honey, I done made up my mind to get me something young and raise him to my hand.
00:26:55When I get through with him, he'll really understand.
00:26:58And it ain't nobody's business what I do.
00:27:02Oh, what I do.
00:27:05I'm telling you.
00:27:08It ain't nobody's business what I do.
00:27:18Now you know what to tell your nosy neighbor.

00:32:26Honey child
00:32:29Now tell me
00:32:30Tell me
00:32:31Tell me
00:32:32What is it that makes my head go round and round
00:32:35Until I reach my quota
00:32:36Uh
00:32:37Wine scotch
00:32:38Scotch
00:32:39Scotch and soda
00:32:40And if I didn't care
00:32:46Would it be the same
00:32:53Would my every
00:32:54Be aimed to argue
00:33:00With just your name
00:33:03Ah sweet essence
00:33:04Of meatballs and spaghetti
00:33:08Sure
00:33:10If this is love
00:33:14Beyond the company
00:33:15Ah shoot the salami to me mommy
00:33:21Who would all this be true
00:33:28If I didn't care
00:33:32If I didn't care
00:33:33If I didn't care
00:33:40The
00:34:19And now we bring you that dynamic personality, Jackie Mabley.
00:34:25But between you and me, folks, she'd rather be called Just Plain Mom.
00:34:34Thank you, children. Thank you, darling.
00:34:37I know you children are all relaxed back there, sitting back there.
00:34:41Look at it, boss. You think you're going to hear some jokes, don't you?
00:34:45Well, Mom don't know none.
00:34:49Mom don't know no jokes, but I can tell you some facts.
00:34:55Don't believe in them fairy tales in the first place.
00:34:58So don't look for none, because that Mother Hubbard going to the cupboard after dog bones and things like that,
00:35:05that never happened.
00:35:07Mother Hubbard had her gin in the cupboard in one of them squares.
00:35:10You know how your friends can come in, them chiselers that drink here?
00:35:14So she used to tell them she's going to the cupboard to get a dog a bull.
00:35:18She's going to get her a nip.
00:35:21Mother Hubbard was plenty of, and you believe that.
00:35:25Another thing... Wait a minute, honey.
00:35:27You'll have to laugh a little louder. Mom can't hear you up there.
00:35:32That's it. Thank you very much.
00:35:34See, I can't hear very good Mom tell you how that happened.
00:35:39When they sent me, they sent for me to come down to Washington.
00:35:43They had some business they wanted me to tend to down there.
00:35:47They sent for me and sent me an airplane ticket.
00:35:52Now, I ain't scared of an airplane.
00:35:54I'm no square, but as you young children say, it just never moved me, you know, to ride in no
00:36:02airplane.
00:36:03Sure enough, no sooner than I got in the plane, they strapped me down.
00:36:11The plane ain't got up no ways hardly for something with glue up in my head like that.
00:36:15I ain't heard nothing since.
00:36:18Both ears stopped up.
00:36:20Oh, I was so sick.
00:36:24I said, honey, the students come to...
00:36:26I said, honey, my ears is all stopped up.
00:36:30She said, here's some chewing gum.
00:36:32I chewed that.
00:36:33That ain't unstopped them.
00:36:36I got right limp.
00:36:38I said, do something for me, honey.
00:36:41I'm dying.
00:36:43She said, drop your jaws.
00:36:49And I misunderstood her.
00:36:54They grounded me in Baltimore.
00:36:57Yeah, they took me off.
00:36:59But outside of an airplane, Luther, play that piano for them and tell them that number where it tells you
00:37:09about something else that mom don't have played.
00:37:12Go on, Luther.
00:37:13Play it for them.
00:37:21Now, I guess everyone has their aggravations, especially in certain situations.
00:37:28Now, remember, I don't know what you children's might be, but here's one thing that kind of aggravates me.
00:37:36For instance, a company happened to drop in.
00:37:42Especially if they've been drinking too much gin, I say, now listen.
00:37:46Listen, if you're my friend, don't sit on my bed.
00:37:52Oh, now, don't get me wrong.
00:37:54It's not that I think that your clothes ain't clean.
00:37:58And you know, Mama, I ain't never been mean.
00:38:01But there's a chair.
00:38:03Sit there.
00:38:05Uh, don't sit on my bed.
00:38:09I always was taught that chairs was made to sit in and beds was made to sleep.
00:38:17You're liable to get my blanket out of line.
00:38:20Rumple up my sheet.
00:38:23Oh, it's not that I think that it looks so hot.
00:38:28But it's mine and it's all I got.
00:38:31In fact, I don't care if it ain't nothing but an army cart.
00:38:34Uh, don't, don't sit on my bed.
00:38:39Mattress start to get all lumpy.
00:38:43Springs won't bounce no more.
00:38:48Sides will start sagging.
00:38:51Slacks fall on the floor and you know that's a drag.
00:38:55Then you go home feeling all happy and everything and leaving me with an aching head.
00:39:02Listen, Ben, if you're my friend, uh, don't sit on my bed.
00:39:07In other words, don't crouch on the couch, son.
00:39:11I don't like it.
00:39:17Folks, have you ever heard of a potpourri of dance steps?
00:39:21Well, here it is with the Clark Brothers.
00:39:36I don't like it.
00:40:08We'll see you next time.
00:40:08We'll see you next time.
