There was one they did which was a musical with a whole bunch of popular newspaper and comic characters in it, all of whom got to do a song.

Tarzan's was "The Girl That I Marry" and it went like this...

The girl that I marry will have to be
As light on her feet as a chimpanzee
The girl with whom I'll romp
Will swing through the jungle and smell like a swamp
A bone of white ivory will grace her nose
She'll spring like a panther when I propose
'Stead of sighin', she'll be cryin'
With the roar of a half-crazy lion
Athletic and hairy the girl that I marry must be

Dagwood Bumstead's was "Old Man Dithers"

Oh, Old Man Dithers
That Old Man Dithers
He just keeps screamin'
He keeps on steamin'
Yeah, Old Man Dithers
He just keeps screamin' all day...

I get no Blue Cross
No paid up pension
A raise I'm needin'
But don't dare mention
Cos Old Man Dithers
He'd only lower my pay!

Look at me...
It's just a crime...
No vacation...
Or overtime...
Nine till five...
Like a slob...
Be a minute late and I'd lose my job...

I feel I'm fadin'
It's gettin' hazy
Goodbye to Blondie!
Goodbye to Daisy!
And Old Man Dithers can keep on screamin' all day....


Dagwood tragically sings the above song and then expires, having been accidentally shot a minute earlier by Dick Tracy who is in pursuit of criminals at the time and shoots Dagwood because...why? Because Dick Tracy has incredibly lousy aim! He NEVER succeeds in hitting the person he's aiming at, but always shoots some innocent bystander instead. Oh, the shame of it!

Looking down at Dagwood's pathetic dead body, Tracy begins to weep. Whoever is with him (Tarzan, I think...) asks Tracy if he is weeping in remorse for having killed Dagwood. Tracy says, "No, I just got some smoke in my eyes." And then he sings this song:

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

They...ask me why I sob
Killing some poor slob....
I, of course, reply,
"When the bullets fly, something makes me cry."
True...I am just a heel...sorrow I don't feel....
Shooting the wrong guy
Didn't make me cry
Smoke got in my eyes

And that's all I remember. Danged if I can recall what the point of the overall story was...but it had some really cool songs in it.
