[00:06.66]Overture:I Guess It Was 5 A.M.
[01:11.80]
[01:29.47]Joe:
[01:30.50]I guess it was five A.M.
[01:32.90]A homicide had been reported
[01:35.42]From one of those crazy mansions up on sunset
[01:40.26]Tomorrow every front page
[01:43.10]is going to lead with this story
[01:45.98]You see an old time movie star is involved,
[01:52.54]Maybe the biggest star of all
[01:58.40]But before you read about it,
[02:01.71]before it gets distorted
[02:04.54]By those Hollywood piranhas,
[02:08.00]if you wanna know the real facts
[02:12.85]You've come to the right party
[02:14.58]Let me take you back six months,
[02:17.90]I was at the bottom of the barrel
[02:21.20]I'd had a contract down at Fox,
[02:24.19]but I'd fallen foul of Darryl
[02:27.54]Now I had a date at Paramount,
[02:30.84]Along with about a thousand other writers
[02:34.17]If it didn't come up roses,
[02:36.00]I'd be covering funerals
[02:38.22]Back in Dayton, Ohio,
[02:41.02]I'd hidden my car three blocks away
[02:46.11]Turned out to be a smart move.
