The Vicki Eydie ShowBette Midler

"And now, and now, and now!
Comes my favorite part. This is the part where I get to expose myself, to... Cleveland
All my hopes, fears, dreams and desires, right here, right now
In this little section
I have been in showbusiness for 10 years and every time I have to go back on the stage I have this dream, that I am trapped in an act, not of my own design
In this act, I demonstrate the kind of performer I might have become, had I not been blessed with brains, talent and gorgeous tits!
Yes indeed Ladies and Germs, in this, in this dream I demonstrate
The kind of preformer I would have become had I only been blessed with gorgeous tits, yes, here they are!
Here thay are, You've read about them in People magazine, they were featured on the cover of Life, October 1st, 1954
3 year old baby with 38 inch chest. That was something to behold! Ahh. Now, the name of the performer that I play in my dream is 'Vicki Eydie'
Vicki Eydie is definitely a lounge act, Vicki Eydie is not the kind performer who goes around singing any old kind of song she wants to sing, you understand!
No, this act, what can I call it? It is a global revue. She does not, of course, travel alone, no. She has hired a once famous, singing trio 'The Dazzling Eat-ettes'
And if I am not mistake, here they come this very mimette
Minute!! Here they come! 'The Dazzling Eat-ettes'
Oh God! Welcome to my nightmare!"

"And now!
The 'Plywood Room' high atop 'Swingos Celebrity Motor Lodge'
In gorgeous downtown 'Seven Hills' is thrilled to present the inevitable song stylings of the internationnally acclaimed
Miss Vicki Eydie! In her internationally acclaimed 'Around the world Revue' entitled 'Around the world in 80 ways!'
And now, he-e-e-ere's Vicki!! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Around the world I've searched for you, I traveled on when hope was gone to keep a rendezvous

Say, I knew somewhere, sometime, somehow, you would look at me and I would see the smile you're smiling now. Ooh! It might have been in County Down, or in New York, or Gay Paris
Or even, London Town. Hey! What difference does it make?
No more will I go all around the world, for I have found my world in, Y-O-U, Hey! Ha! "What difference does it make!?
Jokers, Tokers and Smokers!
How are you tonight!?
Where are you tonight!?
And how does your sign say!?
Have we got a little treat in store for you tonight!
We're gonna take you on a wonderful little trip around this glorious little globe of ours! We feature songs of many colors, and flags of lots of nations
And the first stop on this whirl-wind cavalcade - the exotic Middle East!
With a veritable 'turbular' tune. Here we go, Girls! Ow!

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've got a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York
Was once New Amsterdam, Hey!
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

Nya, Nya, Nya!
Sing the song Girls!
Nya, nya, nya!
[Repeated]
Sing out, sing out
Nya, nya, nya!...

Wow! So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks'
Hey! "But no time to linger!
No time to linger!
Vicki Eydie gets preposterous on the Bosphorous!
But as I say no time to linger
In the Auderman empire
For I hear by the sound of the
Castanettes, we are off
Off, off, off we are off
Off to Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-azil! a-Br-r-razil. Brazil...
Land of hope, Land of hemp
Hmmmm

I wrote this next musical composition for the festival at 'Piranha Del-Rey'
Unfortunately I did not win that particular festival
Otherwise I would not be here in
Er... Cleveland! Tonight

Essence of the Latin-American experience
