In the day time drama endangered love

Larry: Barbara Manatee (Manatee, Manatee)

You are the one for me (one for me, one for me)

Sent from up above (up above, up above)

You are the one I love (I love, I love, I love)

Bill: "please don't cry Bar-ba-ra,

You're a nice Manatee,

You've been so good to me

But I must go into the world and do noble things for the good of all

And you can't come because you don't speak Fr-r-rench.

Au revoir"

Barbara: "But if you leave Bill

Who will take me to the ball?

Who's gonna take me to the ball, Bill?

I have a new dress and shoes

And new manatee lipstick

Who will take me to the ball? "

Larry: "I'll take you to the ball, Barbara Manatee!"

Barbara: "Please don't go"
