Dick would occasionally play a parody of the signature song of Dick Haymes, "Let the Rest of the World Go By." I recall that it began, "To a party I did go, Where the gowns were cut low, Held up by but a single strap. One lady wore a dress, Captivating I'll confess, For it was made up of a worldly map. On the front was Brazil, On the back, Bunker Hill..." Several verses described the dress's various parts, using double entendres. The punchline ending went,"On one knee was Siam, On the other, Alabam, but I never got a look at her thigh; For just then I spied my wife, and so, to save my life, I let the rest of the world go by." It was rolling-on-the-ground funny, and I have to have a recording of it. HELP!
