flakes? Let me play ya the opening.

SONG: HAVE I GOT A KID FOR YOU!

BENNY

(Very fast)
HAVE I GOT A KID FOR YOU…
SIT BACK, RELAX, ENJOY THE SHOW
GET SET, GET READY, here we go!
HAVE I GOT A KID FOR YOU TO SEE!

(Quick, as if addressing different people) THIS ONE‘S FACE
YOU‘LL ALWAYS REMEMBER-
THIS ONE‘S FACE- WHO COULD FORGET!

THIS ONE‘S GOT A MILLION JOKES-
THIS ONE AIN‘T BEEN FUNNY YET.

THIS ONE‘S GOT A VOICE TO DIE FOR-
THIS ONE‘LL MAKE YA WISH YA DID. .
