I Remember You / Dixie's Dream Songtext / Lyric

[Announcer:] "The stars of our show, and America's "shiekest" couple,

Eddie Sparks and Dixie Leonard!"






[J:] I remember you.

[B:] I'd like to say that you're in my dreams.

[J:] You're the one who made my dreams come true

[B:] You're usually dead,

[J:] a few

[B:] without a head,

[J:] kisses ago.

[B:] and lots of natives are picking their teeth with your bones.

[J:] I remember, too,

[B:] Oh, what a dream!

[J:] a distant bell,

[B:] It comes at night and taunts me,

[J:] and stars that fell

[B:] and, like your jokes, it haunts me until

[J:] like rain out of the blue.

[B:] I'm blue as your face as the last breath leaves you.

[J:] When my life is through,

[B:] I'll jump for joy.

[J:] and the angels ask me to recall

[B:] and when Winchell asks me to recall

who's a chump and a heel.

[J:] the thrill of it all,

[B:] Who's the biggest schlemeil?

[Both:] Then I will tell them I remember . . .

[J:] "So, uh, it's my birthday comin' up."

[B:] "Yeah, I know, Eddie."

[J:] "But, what do you give a guy that's got everything?"

[B:] "Uh, penicillin?"

[J:] "Hmmm, hey Dix? You ever been married?"

[B:] "Oh, yeah, Eddie, twice!"

[J:] "Children?"

[B:] "No, silly! Grown men!

Tell me, Eddie, what's the most romantic thing a woman ever said to you?"

[J:] "Are you sure you're not a cop?"

Then I will tell them I remember . . . you.

[B:] You

[J:] and you.
