Norma:[00:00:03]

Hurry up the birthday boy is on his way[00:00:04]

This is a surprise celebration[00:00:08]

I hope you've remembered everything I've said[00:00:11]

I want to see a total transformation[00:00:15]

Joe:[00:00:19]

Happy birthday darling[00:00:21]

That's a 42 inch chest[00:01:02]

Joe:[00:01:04]

I don't understand a word you're saying[00:01:05]

Manfred:[00:01:08]

From their shiny toecaps to their hatband[00:03:42]

Manfred:[00:03:45]

Conceal your gut[00:03:46]

You won't regret selecting the vicuna[00:03:47]

Salesmen:[00:03:50]

If you need a hand to shake[00:03:51]

If there's a girl you want to make[00:03:53]

If there's a soul you're out to capture[00:03:55]

Or a heart you want to break[00:03:57]

If you want the world to love you[00:04:00]

Manfred:[00:04:02]

You'll have to learn to take[00:04:02]

Salesmen:[00:04:04]
