DORETHY
Bobby Hope was a boy who liked girls with raven tresses
He thought every girl just for him was saving yesses
He figured that the duty of each brunette beauty
Was to run to him for necking
At his every bark and beckon

Here comes this lonesome male
And here's his pitaful tale
He says

BOB
I will date Rosie cause Rosie is cosy
And she's my favourite brunette

DORETHY
But rosie this summer 
Was dating the plumber

BOB
She turned out ot be all wet
I'll make Rosita, that sweet senorita
My brand new favourite brunette

DORETHY
Bu this hot-to-molly
Was tickling Charlie
By shaking her castanets 

BOB
Dark-haired Tilly was silly over Willy
Lily and Billy were Kind of Jack and Jilly

DORETHY
So he tried a redhead
But she was a dead head

BOB
And what can you do with a blonde?

I tried using my noodle 
and bought a black poodle

DORETHY
His brand new favourite brunette

BOB
But she loves a spanail
Name of Danial

DORETHY
That was the pay off 
and though he was way off
He hasn't stopped trying yet
He was last seen in Tibet
You bet,chasing another brunette

BOB
I got pally with Sally May O'Malley
Patting and pinching 
right in her mothers kitchen
Again I had to lose out
Someone blew the fuse out
What can you do in the dark
Tell me, how about you babe?
Will you be my new babe?
My brand new favourite brunette?

DORETHY
Uh Ah 
the kind of man that I demand
Must have a lot at his command 

BOB
I'll learn a lot of parlour tricks
And get advice from Dorethy Dicks

DORETHY
And would you buy me diamond rings? 
and little thousand dollar things?

BOB
I'll give you lots of cadillacs
To go with every pair of slacks

DORETHY
Well let me know whan you get there

BOTH
Then you'll be my favourite brunette
