(In different corners of the room, Eddie Mackrel, a former heavyweight champ, is talking to the men guests and Mae, his dyed-blonde wife, is talking to the woman guests) Eddie I usually go on just before the headliner and always right after Piergo’s Trained Birds. And then it’s “Ladies and Gentlemen-Eddie Mackrel. The Champ!” Course it ain’t nothing like the real thing. Ain’t nothing like being in the ring. Mae My Eddie’s a hero just like Lindbergh. Except Lindbergh’s white and flies a plane. My Eddie’s colored and beats people up. (she laughs) Eddie So I’m there in the ring And the crowd starts to shout I go in for the kill And I knock the man out And the referee barks- It’s the end of the bout And that’s the first time they called me “The Champ” Yeah! Those were the days I ascended on high Taking on the Golden Boy O’Malley oh my. Bye-by those were the years. And I give ’em plenty of reasons to call me “The Champ”. The Women? Anyone I wanted anyway- Blondes and browns and women: and then somehow. I was. One day… Eddie and Mae. Champ’s gotta wife. Got settled down gotta whole diff’rent life. Can’t take the Golden Boy on anymore: it’s only on stage I’m what I was before Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae- Mae So he gave me the ring In Buffalo and girls, I’m glad I left the show- I figure. One door opening is- You know. Life is a dream since I married “The Champ”. He plays the week and Saturdays Three a night Plus matinees In Detroit the theater ran out an ‘A’s. So the marquee read: “The Chomp”. And Women? They flock around him like hungry birds. Jealous jealous women- cuz my future lies in three little words: Eddie and Mae! Talk about bliss nobody’s got It better than this. So what I if I gave up my place on the line at least I got something I call mine all mine Mae Eddie and Mae- Eddie and Mae- Eddie and Mae- Eddie and Mae- Eddie and Mae- Ain’t we a team? Happy as clams Life is a dream! Everything seems Possible Since I became Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae! Eddie Duck- Jab- Fake- Left He’s out- Those were the years of my holy fame king of the hill at the top of my game the crowd going wild at the sound of my name- before I became Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae Eddie and Mae!
