[Cleve Duncan] I’m all alone, feeling so blue
|
Thinking about you and the love we once knew
|
And each time I do, it brings back those memories of El Monte
|
|
Remember the dance? I held you so tight
|
The Satins were singing ♫ “In the still of the night”
|
You gave me your heart and your love undying
|
Now I’m alone, I’m sitting here crying
|
|
If only they have those dances again
|
I’d know where to find you and all my old friends
|
The Shields would sing ♫ “You cheated, you lied”
|
And the Heartbeats, ♫ “You’re a thousand miles away”
|
And the Medallions with ♫ “The letter” and “sweet words of pismotality”
|
Marvin and Johnny with ♫ “Cherry pie”
|
And then Tony Allen with ♫ “Night owl”
|
And I, Cleve Duncan, along with the Penguins, will sing
|
♫ “Earth angel, earth angel, will you be mine?” at El Monte
|
|
If I could go back to those days of the past
|
I’d show you a love, a love that would last
|
Oh, I remember those wonderful dances in El Monte
|
In El Monte
|
|
“Earth angel, earth angel, will you be mine?” at El Monte
|

[Bob Guy] Oh, what have we here?
|
Oh, a letter!
|
Oh oh, it smells!
|
Oh, how wonderful!
|
I just love letters that are perfumed
|
Oh, lovely, lovely stench!
|
Essence of wolfbane!
|
Oh, let me open it!
|
|
Dear Jeepers,
|
It was so nice of you to attend my party at the castle last week. You and Doris make such a lovely couple. I’m also very glad to have seen Igor, Boris and Sally Snake and Pumpkin The Rat.
|
Snork
|
It was so much fun when we all played “Pin the tail on the werewolf”
|
Oh yes! And “Electrical chairs”
|
Oh oh, when everybody sat down, oh, two million volts!
|
Ho-ho ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
|
Oh, such fun!
|
(Uh, Doris, squeeze me a glass of mildew)
|
|
And to continue now…
|
Although the party was supposed to be rot luck, oh, it turned out to be pot luck. It was still lovely of you to bring along that “Leg of leprechaun au gratin”, oh. Desdemona wants the recipe.
|
Well, I’m… I’m rather exhausted, so I… I must close now. The sun is coming up and I must return to the crypt.
|
|
Sincerely
|
Count Dracula
|
|
Oh
|
P.S. Here’s a riddle:
|
When there’s a wheel, watch the way!
|
|
Ho-ho ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
|
[Bob Guy] Doris, get out your poison pen and take a letter. I have to write to Count Dracula. You know he wrote me a letter of that sort.
|
|
Dear Count Dracula,
|
I am writing to you from Cucamonga, ha-ha
|
Cucamonga
|
The weather is lovely, oh-oh
|
The nausea of noon, oh-oh oh-oh-oh
|
The wind is always blowing and the sun never shines, and it’s rainy and damp four hundred days of the year, oh-oh
|
I enjoyed the party very much, especially the sumptuous feast you had prepared
|
Snork
|
It was thrilling, from the first appetizers
|
Aaargh!
|
The “Chicken fried grub worms”, on through the dessert, ohhhh, “Blood pudding”! Oh oh oh-oh, I love “Blood pudding”! Oh yes! Oh oh oh-oh, it was a masterpiece of culinary skill.
|
Although I… I was worried for a moment when you… you said the main course was… “Fish and chips”. Oh, we’re not that plebeian in Cucamonga, ha ha.
|
But my fears were quickly allayed when I discovered to my delight it was “Silverfish and Buffalo chips”! Ho-ho! Ho-ho! The most… ohhhh, unique! Oh, they’re so squirmy! Oh-oh-oh ha-ha! Oh, the first one went down easy, but the second one was greasy! Ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho ho-ho-ho!
|
Oh, my… oh, I’m getting carried away, because… I really must apologize for… getting tipsy and singing, but I have always wanted to be the death of the party, ha-ha ha-ha ha-ha!
|
|
Uh, when you hear the pellets drop, count ten an’ take a deep bleath
|
Uhwrr uhwrr he he he he
|

I want to hold you, darling, please let me try
|
Darling, I love you, I really do
|
Darling, I want you, let me be true
|
I want to hold you everytime I see you

If you would love me, we’d never, never part
|
We would be lovers, heart unto heart

[Big Surfer] Now, well, you must all realize that these appearances are very important to me.

Jackie gave me a fresh bleach job just last night, and Pierre has been helping me wax down my board in the back of the woody on the way over from the airport.
|
Now at this time I should like to thank the governor for the foam rubber huarache I’m wearing. They are very comfy.

And now…

[Girls] Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee!
|
[Big Surfer] And now…

And now I’d like to say, it’s a great pleasure to be your guest at this affair
|
And I should like to get on with the dance contest
|
And now all of you, well, hodaddies, grab your, uh, ho-mommies, and we’ll, uh, all hike, er, I mean stomp

(Oh well, they… they know I’m under pressure)
|
Now what I say, hit it, I want you to make a big, strong wedge, with a solid left hand macaroni, then hang five and shoot the curl. Now, hit it! Oh, you’re looking good!
|
|
(Jackie, I wish you get Caroline to turn her amplifier down)
|
|
(Pierre, remind me to get Bobby a new reed tomorrow, they all want to get into the act)
|
|
Yes, yes, I think we, uh, have a winner! It’s the, uh, little couple from over in the, uh, corner.
|
And (No, don’t stop the music) let’s uh… bring them up here and uh… give ‘em a big hand!
