tear ducts
oh poor kids having a tough time in high
school there's got to be something we
can do well having a few beers it'd make
me feel better but that's really boring

are we the parents who run to the school
and cry foul every time our kid has a
problem okay let's go out no I'm talking
about anywhere

teacher had a little talk of a drama
teacher now everyone will see what a
talented daughter we have high def damn

should go down and talk to Madeleine
first thing tomorrow Judy we can't go
down there well if you don't want to go
fine I'll go by myself no you can't why
not I guess I know why Lauren lost her
monologue why because of my baby soft
skin of my elegant hands what I think
Madeline gable or in the park because
she has a thing for me and she took it
away because Billy doesn't play that
game that game be I'm not believe me I'm
picking up vibes everybody always talked
about vibes I never felt fides Judy
these are vibes are you sure yeah I'm
sure she wrote me a personal note she
invited me over for chili to her house
at night when the Sun Goes Down I know
what night is and the day after I say no
she takes lawns monologue away well
maybe she's hitting on you well you know
what you gotta go do ya tell her I'm a
married man and she should keep her
hands off no you got to go down there
and shake it for
you gotta get Lauren her monologue taxes
it seems so wrong prudence do you think
it's an accident I wear a halter top
every time we buy a major appliance

store with you they stripped many
purposes wife wants you to go down with
the school and flirt with your
daughter's hot drama teacher my wife has
a cow when I hang on to mrs.
Butterworth's bottle too don't it to get

hot spot it's something wrong you look
tense well I have kind of a problem
Laurens feelings were really hurt when
you cut a monologue from the show oh
that's right you know this could be the
answer to my problem Amy's got mono and
I need someone to play the part of town
maybe Warren control that'd be great
it's a really big part though she might
not have time to learn it I'm sure she'd
be willing to do
well she is a very bright girl in a heck
of an actress all but there's no time to
change the costumes are you sure of
course they are about the same size you
know it's worth a sh*t oh I think so too
[Laughter]
[Music]
Warren Miller would like to dedicate his
performance to her mother and father for
authoring hers oh I am so happy for
Lauren because it turns out that it was
put at middle and hit a little thing for
bill huh wait well you know about that
