Gm

and I never did know how some
of the more affluent folks lived.
Well not too long ago
I was invited to do a show
for some rich folks
at a world -famous resort hotel.
Whoo, I got there a day early.
Them yatches was tied up
in the harbor. Oh!

Oh, I got there a
half a day early
where I wouldn't miss it.
And as I went to tip the bailman
and handed him the money,
I said, sir,
where's the television at in this room?
Oh, sir, we don't have television
at this world famous resort hotel.
I said, what? I said, man, they got television
at them 888 a night.
I said, oh sir, but you don't understand
our guests come here
not to be disturbed by television.
I said, well, I hope it got sense enough
to turn it off
if it don't want to watch it.
I said, I'm going to see Nebraska and
Alabama play.
And you rich folks,
I done fell out with y 'all already.

is down close to the lobby.
Now, folks, I had to dress,
and what I was wanting to do
is put on my loose -fitting pajamas. Oh!
And fix it where my belly
could flop around.
Grab back and fix it where that air
-conditioning unit
Am

could blow up this pajama leg
and go down that one.
And watch bad Bryant's boys
whoop up on Nebraska. Oh!

lobby

G
And while I'm down there watching it,
it's in the third quarter and it's tied up.
In walk four high society women,
got them little fancy frizzled breeches on.
Had on a cute little cap.
Each one of them had a tennis racquet.
And they come walking in
and said, oh sir, we're going
to switch the television.
I said, ma 'am?
Said, oh yes, the Slim Jim Tournament
is on the other station.
Now some kind of slim was in there.
I remember that distinctly.
Whoo, I think it was somebody named
Virginia
what was in the Slim Tournament.
Well, as I remember, she said.
Oh, and I said, ladies,

all the way across the page,
