The club where Griselda dances
is under new management.  

Griselda thinks they’re nuts,
but she wants the money.  

The new boss is no longer satisfied
with Griselda dancing
with just a pair of pasties,
and a “G”-string.  

The new boss wants Griselda
to cover her body with baby oil,
so that her beautiful, God given,
olive skin just gleams, and shines,
under the hot lights on her stage.

Griselda is afraid she looks too good.  

Griselda is afraid some of the patrons
might get the idea into their head
to try and touch her.  

She asks Bones to come along
and make sure nothing like that happens.  

Bones shows up wearing his Fedora,
and cleaning his nails
with his favorite stiletto.  

There’s no problem from the patrons.

Bobby

Yo guys and dolls.

He he you make me smile many times Bobby.
I like the images out of such a concise storyline.
Good scene, I was waiting for the movie to start.

Have a good day Bobby.

Thanks dear SEA,

Yes, it can be dangerous, a girl can get in a lot of trouble sometimes, if they're not careful.

My Girlfriend used to dance when we were younger.  Now her Granddaughter dances, and the Girlfriend doesn't approve.  I always take the Granddaughters part, and remind her that she used to do that too.

Thanks dear Linda,

That's a nice thing to say about Bones.  Bones really does do the best he can for his friends, because thay sometimes take care of him.  He'd be lost without them.

Love Bobby

He's watching out for her... as he knows she'd do the same. Friends... the family you choose. *S*

Thanks dear Suthern,

I love what you say, and that expression is a gem.

"Friends... the family you choose."

That is so true Hon.  I'm going to steal that saying sometime when you're not looking.
