Eatin' on the Cuff or The Moth Who Came to Dinner (1942)

[GabrielAlejo2341]

I'll tell you the story of the moth and his flame, but promise that you'll try to keep it quiet.

The lady was a honeybee with marriage as her aim and he lived on a fabricated diet.

♪ Now, the moth told the bee "Come on, honey, marry me ♪

♪ "So tomorrow wedding bells will surely ring" ♪

♪ Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong, ding ♪

♪ And today's the day that wedding bells will ring ♪

♪ In a suit of fancy clothes we find our boyfriend in a doze ♪

♪ 'Twas a zoot suit with a neat pleat nicely stitched ♪

♪ Get up, you lazy creature ♪

♪ Eat your breakfast, find a preacher ♪

♪ 'Cause at 3:00 today you're getting hitched ♪

Oh, happy day!

Ta-da!

♪ Here comes the groom Straight as a broom ♪

♪ All purtied up with 10-cent perfume ♪

Mmm, nice piece of material.

And prewar cuffs, too.

My, oh, my!

Oh, darn those zippers.

Tick, tock, tick, tock, look what time is on the clock!

♪ There sat the bride but she cried and cried and cried ♪

♪ Oh where, oh where, has her little moth gone? ♪

♪ Oh where, oh where, can he be? ♪

Oh, my gosh! It's half past three!

So our little pal, the moth, who was fed up with the cloth, decided he was late, and how he ran!

But a big black widow spider dropped beside him with a bang and with hungry eyes she cackled...

Look, a man!

Yipe!

Yipe!

Play your jack.

Something like Uncle Tom's Cabin, ain't it?

♪ But the moth could not be had ♪

♪ And it made the widow mad ♪

♪ Just to think there was a man she couldn't tame ♪

♪ I don't want to set the world on fire, ♪

♪ but it says, "A moth's attracted by a flame." ♪

Help!

Help!

Help!

Confidentially, she stings.

My hero.

Oh, shucks.

It weren't nothing.

♪ So they built a little nest and they settled in the vest ♪

♪ And lived happy ever after on the cuff ♪

But, you know, folks, I never could understand what that cute little bee could see in that silly moth.

What a dope.

Oh, yeah?

That's all, folks!
