that's kind of hanky-panky

[Music]

I spoke with Dr clever yes yes he has

the lab reports back and he says that

what Mr Drysdale has is just plain

old-fashioned common ordinary flu

oh like you Milton everybody else in

Beverly Hills has the latest thing Hong

Kong flu but you you have to have common

ordinary flu

he never misses an opportunity to

embarrass me in front of my friend I

would I have a fever of 102. Mr van

matsahar has the Hong Kong strain and he

has a fever of 104 but you never rise

above the ordinary how can I face my

bridge cup and be snubbed by Mrs Van

ransoff I'll just have to stay home I

don't know please please not that what'd

you say Margaret believe me I I didn't

get this flu on purpose you probably got

it from associating with those Dreadful

Hillbillies if it's common they've got

it if it will take you off the hook I'll

try to let it go in in ammonia

promises promises

all the money we spend with Dr Clyburn

you'd think that he could have spared me

this disgrace perhaps you can get him to

change the diagnosis too late for that

by now his nurse has blabbed it all over

town

[Music]

God Don't Go Near daddy you'll get germs

Melvin stop breathing

Claude it would be just like Melbourne

to give him some of his Bourgeois germs

he's never loved God as a father should

too late
