| Aragon Ballroom on Lick Pier at beautiful Santa |
| Monica Beach, California. |

| And the melody in the bamboo tree, my sweet |
| Even in shadows |
| LW Hold it, somebody stop the bubble machine. |
| The whole ballroom is lathering |
| up with bubbles. |
| And now I can’t see the cameras. |
| Here, let me set that |
| accordion down on the stage and I’ll try to fix that. |
| Bear with us, |
| folks just a moment please. |
| Gee, the time is running out and we haven’t even |
| played the polka. |
| Wait a minute, boys, I didn’t mean… hold it, Alice, |
| don’t polka on my accordion |
| Gee, Dad, it was a Wurlitzer. |
| Hit the theme, boys. |
| And so its |
| Goodnight from all the champagne… wheres the cameras… theres so many bubbles |
| I can’t…and so, friends, we… help, the whole ballroom is shoving off to sea. |
| SM Sure is a clear night, ain’t it, Captain? |
| SC Yup, matey, these are the kind of nights when the sea plays |
| Tricks on ye |
| SM Yeah, I recollect one night off Singapore… |
| SC Tricks, I say, like that mirage off the port bow, now |
| SM What? |
| SC See it there, kinda bubbly looking in the moonlight? |
| SM Oh, yeah. |
| Gee, if I didn’t know better, I’d say it looks |
| Like the Aragon Ballroom |
| SC Yeah… dee-deedee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee |
| SM Hey, thats a catchy chantey you’re humming there, Captain. |
| What is it? |
| SC Oh, I don’t know. |
