Hey Laurie, you see Nanny?
She's gone again.
[E] Will you do something for me?
Will you find Curly and [Db] tell him I'm here?
I want to see Curly awful bad.
I've got to see him.
Why don't you turn around and [Gb] look, crazy woman?
Well, you found yours.
[Db] I'm still looking for mine.
[Gb] Well, now what on earth is Aileen Novella [Gbm]-Clymore?
I'll come if you ain't crying.
Curly, I'm afraid.
Afraid of my life.
I've been told to.
Don't you leave me.

As cold as a hunk of ice.
You wish you'd have burned a hole in your pants.
Oh, you do, do you?
You heard me.
Now, look, Laurie.
Laurie, you stand right there where you are.
And I'll sit right over here.
Now, you tell her what you wanted with me.
Mom, Judd was here.
He scared me.
He talked [Bb] wild and he threatened me, so I
I fired him.
Oh, I wished I had,
and there ain't no telling what he might do now.
You fired him?
Well, then, that's all there is to it.
I'll stay in the place myself tonight.
