Ma, when are you going to give up? You gotta bachelor on your hands. I ain’t never gonna get married. Sooner or later, there comes a point in a man’s life when he gotta face some facts, and one fact I gotta face is that whatever it is that women like, I ain’t got it. I chased enough girls in my life. I went to enough dances. I got hurt enough. I don’t wanna get hurt no more.
I just called a girl this afternoon, and I got a real brush-off, boy. I figured I was past the point of being hurt, but that hurt. Some stupid woman who I didn’t even want to call up. She gave me the brush. That’s the history of my life.
Ma, whaddaya want from me?! Whaddaya want from me?! I’m miserable enough as it is! I don’t wanna go to the Waverly Ballroom, because all that ever happened to me there was girls made me feel like I was a bug. And you know what I got for my trouble? Heartache! A big night of Heartache! I got feelings, you know. I had enough pain. No, thank you. Ma, I’m gonna stay home and watch Sid Ceasar.
