Her:Oh, doctor, I’m in trouble.
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
Her: For every time a certain man is standing next to me.
Him: Mmm?
Her: A flush comes to my face and my pulse begins to race,
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: Oh
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: How often does this happen, when did the trouble start?
You see, my stethoscope is bobbing to the throbbing of your heart.
Her: What kind of man is he to create this allergy?
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: Oh
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: From New Delhi to Darjeeling, I have done my share of healing,
And I’ve never yet been beaten or outboxed,
I remember that with one jab of my needle in the Punjab
How I cleared up beriberi and the dreaded dysentery,
But your complaint has got me really foxed.
Her: Oh.

Her: Oh, doctor, touch my fingers.
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.
Her: You may be very clever but however, can’t you see,
My heart beats much too much at a certain tender touch,
It goes boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom,
Him: I like it
Her: Boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Him: Well, goodness gracious me.

Him: Can I see your tongue
Her: Aaah.
Him: Nothing the matter with it, put it 

away please.
Her: Maybe it’s my back.
Him:Maybe it is.
Her: Shall I lie down?
Him: Yes.
Her: Ahhh

Him: My initial diagnosis rules out measles and thrombosis,
Sleeping sickness and, as far as I can tell,
Influenza, inflammation, whooping cough and night starvation,
And you’ll be so glad to hear that both your eyeballs are so clear
That I can positively swear that you are well, Ja-ja, ja-ja-ja-ja.

Her: Put two and two together,
Him: Four,
Her: If you have eyes to see, the face that makes my pulses race
Is right in front of me.
Him: Oh, there is nothing I can do, for my heart is jumping too.
Both: Oh, we go boom boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom
Boody-boom boody-boom boody-boom-boom-boom

Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: How audacious
Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: How flirtatious
Her: Goodness gracious,
Him: It is me.
Her: It is you
Him: Ah, I’m sorry, it is us.
Both: Ahhh

Here comes the sun ♪♫♪♫♪

Bette Davis sunbathing at home, 1940
The popularity of tanning can be traced to a single moment in 1923. After cruising from Paris to Cannes, designer Coco Chanel stepped off the Duke of Wellington’s yacht with a startling suntan. Chanel had apparently gotten too much sun by accident, but the press and fashion world assumed the immensely influential Frenchwoman was making a fashion statement. ‘I think she may have invented sunbathing,’ Prince Jean-Louis de Faucigny-Lucigne said. ‘At that time, she invented everything.’ Soon, daring women in Europe and America were baring their skin to the sun. ➔ Anecdotage.com

The Wizard of Oz ~ Dorothy and Toto, 1939

Toto, a.k.a “Terry,” 1933-1944; Breed: Cairn terrier; Breakthrough role: Toto, The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Terry, a spunky Cairn terrier, got her first acting role in the 1934 Shirley Temple movie Bright Eyes. Her big break would come several years later when she would become Toto in the 1939 MGM film The Wizard of Oz. Earning $125 dollars a week, Terry was paid more than many of the human actors in this film. Terry also shared a home with Judy Garland for several weeks so they could get to know each other. She appeared in 12 other movies in her successful Hollywood career.
