C: Life's a martini B: And you're the shaker C: And baby I sure packed a punch! B: Hey! You make Dean Martin look like a Quaker C: But now it's only you for dinner... B: Breakfast... C: ...and lunch
C: I hear the march that's calling for us B: We'll walk down the aisle to an angels' chorus C: I'll be your Rock if you'll be my Doris C&B: Sweet heavens above!
