Everybody loves mah baby,
But mah baby don't love nobody but me,
Nobody but me-eeee!

How do you know?

Tease! Unfaithful already?

What about you?

Cross my heart. Yours till death do us part, he asseverated with mock solemnity. He went on with his song:

Everybody wants mah baby,
But mah baby don't want nobody but me,
That's plain to see.
She's got a form like Venus,
Honest, I ain't talkin' Greek,
No one can come between us,
She's mah sheba,
I'm her sheik . . .

Some sheik! she interrupted him, continuing in song:

His voice sounds lak time, I mean duh organ time,
An' when he speaks his music ease mah troublin' min'.

You darling!

Byron, there's a big dance next week for the United Coloured Charities.

Let's go.

I was waiting for you to ask me.

As if you ever had to wait for me!

Well, it seems to me I'm always waiting for you.
