- Singer's Friend: [First lines] Why don't you sit still?
- Singer: Oh, I can't help it. This music just goes in my ears and out my feet.
- Singer: How's things been goin' with you lately?
- Comedian: Things ain't been goin' so good. That's the reason I gotta give a rent party.
- Singer: I'm sorry to hear that.
- Singer's Cousin: A rent party? What's that?
- Comedian: What's the racket. You see, first I invite a whole lotta people to come to my house. Then I charge 'em for the food that they eatin'. Then with the money I collect, I pays the rent.
- Singer's Cousin: Well, how do you live after that?
- Comedian: Oh, there's always a lot of leftovers after the party.
- Singer: [singing] What does it matter if we're rich or we're poor? Fortune and fame - they never endure. For love is the thing. Love is the thing. What good is money, if your heart isn't light? Here in your arms, I'm wealthy tonight...
- Bartender: [Final lines]
- [Listening the band play]
- Bartender: Boy, don't that remind you of the old days in the jungle?
- Comedian: It shore do!
