Are you lonesome tonight
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray
To a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor
Seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep
And picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me, dear
Are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know, someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweetheart
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change, you acted strange
And why I'll never know
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down
Is your heart filled with pain
Shall I come back again?
Tell me, dear
Are you lonesome tonight?

Are You Lonesome Tonight lyrics © Bourne Co., Peer International Corporation, Redwood Music Ltd
C.: Oh, boo hoo. I am SO sorry Tom! What was I thinking, leaving you and all fourteen of our kittens? Why did I run away and hide from you? I am so very lonesome…(ring) Oh, hi, d.c. how is it going?
d.: Did I hear my alter ego in the background?
C.: Yes, I was just listening to some mellow tunes while I enjoyed some…beet juice ( yeah, that’s it).
d.: Well, The Kennel just wanted me to check and make sure that you were studying our safety circular while you are off work. I sent it to your personal email. Did you get it?
C.: Let’s see.. is it the one about hypothermia and icy conditions (bomb).
d.: Yes, that’s it. What was that last comment?
C.: What? Why are we studying hypothermia in the middle of August? We live in HOUSTON! Didn’t you once make a comment in one of your books about it being cooler in a sauna than in Houston in August? Why do we need to know about treating inmates for hypothermia in AUGUST?! (bomb)
d.: The Kennel just wants us to be prepared when cooler weather hits. It also tells you about driving in icy conditions on hazardous roads and… did you just say BOMB again?
C.: Again? I don’t remember saying it the first time (bomb)!
d.: Cal.E., what is going on? Why do you keep repeating the word “bomb”? Is something wrong and are you trying to send me a coded message of some sort? Do I need to call the police?
C.: No, d.c. I have no idea what you’re talking about (bomb)!
d.: That’s it I am calling the hotel and reporting that there may be a bomb planted in one of the rooms and they should evacuate the motel immediately!
RALPH: You dropped the bomb on me, baby, you dropped the bomb on me (why am I singing that song? we don’t play any of the Gap Band songs in any of our sets!)
Buddy Bones: EXCELLENT! My plan is coming together.
