Lyrics for Song: I Remember You/Dixie's Dream
Lyrics for Album: For the Boys OST
Announcer: The stars of our show, and America's shiekest couple
Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!
J: I remember you.
B: I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.
J: You're the one who made my dreams come true
B: You're usually dead,
J: a few
B: without a head,
J: kisses ago.
B: and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.
J: I remember, too,
B: Oh, what a dream!
J: a distant bell,
B: It comes at night and taunts me,
J: and stars that fell
B: and, like your jokes, it haunts me until
J: like rain out of the blue.
B: I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.
J: When my life is through,
B: I'll jump for joy.
J: and the angels ask me to recall
B: and when Winchell asks me to recall
who's a chump and a heel.
J: the thrill of it all,
B: Who's the biggest schlemeil?
Both: Then I will tell them I remember . . .
J: So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up.
B: Yeah, I know, Eddie.
J: But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?
B: Uh, penicillin?
J: Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?
B: Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!
J: Children?
B: No, silly! Grown men! Tell me, Eddie
What's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?
J: Are you sure you're not a cop?
Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.
B: You
J: and you.
