  [singing] 

  Louis Jarvis : I found a gal that beats 'em all, She isn't too short and she isn't too tall, She's in the groove and right on the ball, 'Cause she's reet, petite and gone, Now, what a babe, she's the tops, When we go out they don't need no traffic cops, One look at her and the traffic stops, 'Cause she's reet, petite and gone...

• Sam Adams : What took you so long to get here?

  Honey Carter : Well, I don't particularly like walking around in bathing suits. But, when you have to eat everyday, I guess you have to forget a few things your mother told you.
