I Remember You / Dixie's Dream

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