[ANNOUNCER, spoken] And now: the National Democratic Fund Raiser continues with the Five Tuxedos. [THE FIVE TUXEDOS] Party party There's got to be good times Party party We're gonna show you how Party party We're gonna give you good times Get ready, baby 'Cause here they come now Get ready, baby 'Cause here they come now Do do do do Do do do do Do do do do [LORRELL, spoken] Honey, have a drink. You know we're celebrating. [JIMMY, spoken] No, baby, you go ahead. You've been on already. [LORRELL, spoken] Oh, but Jimmy it's our anniversary. Don't you remеmber? So sit down, baby. Let me givе you a kiss for each year. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven years of unmarried life. [JIMMY] Now, baby, don't tell me you're gonna start again! [LORRELL] But Jimmy, we gotta work this problem out! [JIMMY] Baby, I can't take it if you start again Now why are you complaining Always picking, always blaming? I've got problems with Curtis I've got problems with songs My whole career is going wrong [LORRELL] You're always talking about your career Well tonight I want to talk about us [JIMMY] Baby, it's your Jimmy Baby, it's your Jimmy Your Jimmy never lied I never lied to you Baby, it was something you already knew [LORRELL] Yes, I knew you were married when I met you Told myself that's the way it's got to be But after all these years, the best of my life My life has become a catastrophe, yeah [LORRELL] 'Cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin' Ain't no party, no no no I been sittin' here wishin' I had some ambition To get me through That wasn't always you [LORRELL] Don't I give you good lovin', sweet daddy Every time she lets you slip away? You're gonna tell her now that you love me And you're gonna tell her today [LORRELL] 'Cause sittin' home waitin' on a man who ain't comin' Ain't no party, no no no I been sittin' here wishin' I had some ambition To get me through That wasn't always you [LORRELL] Where's my party? Where is my party? Where's the champagne? Where's the flowers? I'm all dressed up in my party dress And I been sittin' here for hours And this ain't no party No no no, it ain't no party, baby Now it's been seven years And it don't take a smarty To realize That even though my man throws confetti in my face It still don't make it no party This ain't no party It ain't no party, baby! [JIMMY] Now, baby, I love you You know that I do But, baby, tell me what do you want me to do? [LORRELL] Marry me! Oh, Jimmy Marry me! [JIMMY] But, baby, I'm married That is something you know Now there's just no way she'll let me go [LORRELL] You got to tell her you wanna be free Jimmy, tell that woman you're in love with me [JIMMY] I'll tell her, Lorrell [LORRELL, spoken] When? [JIMMY] Just a little more time And, baby, we'll work it out just fine [LORRELL] The time has gone and now I see Jimmy Jimmy, you don't love me [JIMMY] I love you, Lorrell You know that I do [LORRELL, spoken] You do? [JIMMY] But right now, I got a show to do I got a show to do [LORRELL] Where do we go from here? Seven years and where do we go?
