You've been carryin' on with Curtis behind my back!

And I warned you, Effie

Are we at it again?
Every night, the same old scene

Curtis, you're a liar!
[CURTIS, spoken]
You watch it, Effie!
[EFFIE]
You're sleeping with her!
I know you're sleeping with her!
[CURTIS]

I'm warning you now
Stop bringing us down
[DEENA & LORRELL]
We're warning you now
Stop bringing us down
Stop bringing us down
[JIMMY]
I was driving down the strip
Just driving down the strip
When I saw the electric sign, twenty stories high
It said "Deena Jones and the incredible Dreams"
With an S on the end almost touching the sky
I was driving down the strip
Just driving down the strip
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
