BUDDY:<br>
Hello, folks, we're into the Follies!<br>
First, though, folks, we'll pause for a mo'.<br>
No, no, folks, you'll still get your jollies--<br>
It's just I got a problem that I think you should know.<br>
See, I've been very perturbed of late, very upset,<br>
Very betwixt and between.<br>
The things that I want, I don't seem to get.<br>
The things that I get--you know what I mean!<br>
I've got those<br>
"God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later"<br>
Blues,<br>
That<br>
"Long-as-you-ignore-me-you're-the-only-thing-that-matters"<br>
Feelin,<br>
That<br>
"If-I'm-good-enough-for-you-you're-not-good-enough"<br>
and, "Thank-you-for-the-present-but-what's-wrong-with-It?"<br>
