[WHITNEY]
I want to row on the crew, mama
That's the thing I want to do, mama
To be known throughout Yale as I walk about it
Get a boil on my tail and then talk about it
[He picks up the phone.]
(spoken)
Operator, get me stateroom 1616, Mrs. Evangeline Harcourt. Evangeline? It's Eli! Eli Whitney. Listen, I just had a swell idea. I'm all alone down here and you're all alone up there. At least I hope you are. So what, who cares what time it is, my turtle dove? I think of you and time stands still. Why, your face alone would stop a clock.
[Pause. He listens.]
Hello? ... Must be on her way!
(sung)
I'd like to be a big bloke, mama
And learn that new Argentine stroke, mama
You'll see your slim son
Putting crimps in the Crimson
When I row on the Varsity Crew
I want to row on the crew, mama
That's the thing I want to do, mama
To be known throughout Yale as I walk about it
Get a boil on my tail and then talk about it
[He picks up the phone.]
