<br>

Terry:<br>

Thank you, my friends<br>

From the fourth estate<br>

For coming tonight<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

This better be good<br>

Because vaudeville is fading<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

Our readers have more interest<br>

In pictures than talk<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

Give the man a chance, guys<br>

He always comes through<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

His stories are great<br>

And some of them are true<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

Have I ever lied to you?<br>

<br>

All Reporters:<br>

Well, maybe not lied<br>

Exaggerated here and there<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

I'm giving you the chance to jump the gun<br>

And run this story in your publications<br>

Of these double duty sensations<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

Double Duty?<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

What the hell are they?<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

They are Daisy and Violet Hilton<br>

The most talented, lovely<br>

And charming of heroines<br>

Who happen to be Siamese twins<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

Siamese twins?<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

Terry, have you sunk so low?<br>

<br>

Reporter:<br>

You need clients from the freak show<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

No, no, no!<br>

My clients will be<br>

An overnight sensation<br>

Wait till you see them on stage<br>

Wait till your doubt<br>

Turns into fascination<br>

Their story will leap off the page<br>

You'll engage<br>

In manic speculation<br>

About this overnight sensation<br>

<br>

The reporters leave and the twins are in the middle of a photo shoot...<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

Violet, don't be afraid of the camera<br>

Just relax<br>

<br>

Violet:<br>

I don't know how<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

Look into the camera<br>

Like you're looking in the eyes<br>

Of the one you love<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

That shouldn't be too hard<br>

<br>

Violet:<br>

Watch it, Daisy<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

I love the camera<br>

I feel like a movie star<br>

What do you think, Terry?<br>

Could I be a goddess of the silver screen?<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

After tonight, the world's your oyster<br>

You're gonna be an overnight sensation<br>

I brought the press and their primed<br>

Talk of the town<br>

And then talk of the nation<br>

After the hurdles we've climbed<br>

We have timed<br>

This evening's presentation<br>

To make on overnight sensation<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

And after your act tonight<br>

When your interview's through<br>

We've got a surprise<br>

A room with a view<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

To host our triumphant two<br>

The finest hotel<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

It'll be swell<br>

Like you<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

You're gonna be an overnight<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

Overnight<br>

<br>

Buddy & Terry:<br>

You're gonna be an overnight sensation<br>

<br>

Buddy:<br>

See you out there!<br>
