TJ: "Oh Mister Mary-ann? Oh, Mister Mary-ann?"
M: "And oh, what's on your mind this morning, Mister Church?"
TJ: "Everybody's making fun
Of the way your thread has spun -
All the kiwis say you've knocked me off my perch."
M: "Why Mister Church, yes, Mister Church -
All those fickle fools have left you in the lurch.
Now I'll educate these apes
With my enlightened views on rapes - "
TJ: "But
I'm the smartest, Mister Mary-ann - "
M: "
I'm the sane one, Mister Church."
In fact, plenty of
original Gallagher and Shean crosstalk needs only minor changes to preserve the rhyme scheme:
TJ: "Oh, Mister Mary-ann?"
M: "Yes, hello?"
TJ: "Oh, Mister Mary-ann?"
M: "Well, well, well?"
TJ: "Do you think it's wrong for a man to strike his wife?"
M: "Strike his wife?"
TJ: "Suppose she goes out every night,
and comes home and starts a fight -
Can a man endure such treatment? Is it right?"
M: "Well, no. But Mister Church, dear Mister Church,
What kind of thug would see his sweetheart birched?
But if it's more than you can stand,
remember never to use your hand - "
TJ: "Use diplomacy, Mister Mary-ann?"
M: "Use a sandbag, Mister Church!"
