Subject: Lyr Add: ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT (Homer & Jethro)
Here's the entire transcript, including the spoken parts:

ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT
Homer & Jethro

Are you lonesome tonight?
If you are, serves you right.
I'm so happy you left me at last

I can still hear you roar:
"Make the beds, mop the floor,
do the laundry and then mow the grass

You took me for a boat ride
I had to swim back
Darlin' I thought I'd never
Get out of that sack

Should you fly back again
Park your broom and come in
Darlin' that's why you're lonesome tonight

(spoken)
Shortspeare once said: "All the world's a stage"
It ain't much of a line, but if it's good enough for Elvis, it's good enough for us.
Act 1
(Woman)
You took me home to meet yer folks and I can still hear your father whispering:
"Son, that gal's cross eyed, knock kneed, stringy headed, buck toothed" but all you said was:
(Man)
Ah, paw, you don't have to whisper: she's deaf, too."
Act 2
(Woman)
Our engagement lasted 10 years, 'cuz I wouldn't marry you when you was drunk
(Man)
Yeah, and I wouldn't marry you when I was sober.
Act 3
(Woman)
The only romantic thing you ever said to me was that I creeped into your heart, and I creeped into your brain and you creeped into your mind.
(Man)
Nah, all I ever said was that you were the biggest creep I'd ever seen.
Act 4
(Woman)
We finally settled down to our little honeymoon cottage and every Friday night, our friends and neighbors would come over to watch the fights.
(Man)
Yeah, and we didn't even have a TV set, but we had a fight every Friday night. One night I blacked yer eyes, broke yer nose and knocked yer teeth out and you got chicken and called the cops.
(Woman)
You told them not to believe a word I said, 'cuz I's "punch drunk".

(Sung)
So, I'll miss you my pet
Every chance that I get
Darlin' that's why you're lonesome tonight
(woman's trio tag)
[But I won't be fer long]
