Last night Ellen bid and made a three no trump[00:00:09]
And took a hundred dollars off her friends[00:00:15]
She got a little nest egg when her daddy died[00:00:20]
And now they're livin' on the dividends[00:00:26]
Ellen is the chairman of the Children's Fund[00:00:32]
She is the biggest donor don't you know[00:00:37]
And I recall the day the drinks were on the house[00:00:43]
When Ellen finally bet the tennis pro[00:00:48]
But it's a shame about him it's a shame about him[00:00:54]
Well he's tryin' so hard and he still just can't win[00:01:05]
It's a shame about him ah ah ah Yes it's a shame about him[00:01:10]
It was back in Eisenhower's secnd term[00:01:27]
Before they put old Elvis in a tank[00:01:33]
But Ellen married Bill and Sarah's oldest boy[00:01:39]
The wedding was good news down at the bank[00:01:44]
Bill Junior wasn't half the man his father was[00:01:49]
And he just let the business go to hell[00:01:55]
And if Ellen hadn't waded in and taken charge[00:02:00]
The family would have probably had to sell[00:02:06]
But it's a shame about him it's a shame about him[00:02:12]
Well he's tryin' so hard and he still just can't win[00:02:23]
It's a shame about him ah ah ah Yes it's a shame about him[00:02:28]
Well I just saw Bill Junior in the bank today[00:02:51]
He's put on an awful lot of weight[00:02:57]
He was off to see his lawyer so he couldn't talk[00:03:02]
Already he was half an hour late[00:03:08]
But Marjorie the teller said the rumor is[00:03:13]
Ellen told Bill Junior that they were through[00:03:19]
Now watch and see without that man to hold her down[00:03:24]
Well there is just no tellin' what she'll do[00:03:30]
But it's a shame about him it's a shame about him[00:03:35]
Well he's tryin' so hard and he still just can't win[00:03:47]
It's a shame about him ah ah ah Yes it's a shame about him[00:03:52]
