Lyrics
The End is not yet!
We are just beginning!
Let’s see what we can get out of,
Once we get into it!!!
Success only comes before work...
In the dictionary.
If you don't like the way in which the
River is flowing, don't jump in!
Gee, THANKS!!! You
Are IN my WILL!!!!!
I have been ping ponging back and forth
And back and forth between Hollywood,
And New York City so many times
That I AM beginning to see stars.
Most of my time in HOLLYWOOD thus far
Has been spent ON Hollywood Blvd,
Also known as The HOLLYWOOD Walk of Fame,
Where the sidewalks are all black,
Maybe more grayish with white chipped specks,
Centered with large pinkish STARS,
Trimmed in gold,
With the names of the celebrities,
Above an emblem depicting the form of entertainment,
Or I say "GIFT" in which they excelled or offered.
Many, like KIM HUNTER,
Have several stars,
And categories among the 2,500 on the Boulevard.
I took particular notice to one of Lucille Ball’s,
Just moments ago,
And remember my Rick REED - Lucille Ball adventure,
That occurred while I was living in Manhattan,
Again, again, again,
Employed at Macy’s Department Store for the first time,
Selling small appliances in the basement.
While there are way too many Macy Stories,
There is just one "I Love Lucille Ball" Story,
I have to share with you, for the first time, now.
All through the department store,
They had strategically posted large signs,
Discouraging employees from theft in any way,
Particularly from becoming involved in rip-off schemes,
Involving second parties...
Either customers or other employees,
Perhaps off duty.
Those signs said:
"Beware of the Mystery Shopper".
The mystery shopper was a decoyed employee,
Who would scheme to make other employees become
Involved in any scam to rip off Macy’s
At both of their advantage, when they worked together.
My one and only encounter with
What I thought to be the Mystery
Shopper came when Comedian Jack Carter’s wife
Approached me at my register,
With a blender that was going to go on sale,
The following day.
"I am Mrs. Jack CARTER, the comedian's wife.
I am also Lucille Ball’s personal secretary.
Lucy has just returned to New York City,
And is furnishing her new home,
And needs this blender.
May I have it today at tomorrow's sale price?"
I declined,
Thinking that she was the Mystery Shopper,
And MY time had come.
She immediately went into her purse,
Then provided me with plenty enough
Personal identification
Proving she was Mrs. Jack CARTER,
But I wasn't convinced, because, you see,
As I immediately explained to HER,
I have an Aunt (Mrs.) Jack Carter,
And they're a dime a dozen,
Probably much less in 2000.
She became very, very, very frustrated,
Mad, and particularly annoyed with one RICK REED,
And began pulling out countless copies of newspaper and magazine stories
About Lucy's return to New York City,
"After all these years in Hollywood!"
I explained to her the lengthy
Report about Macy's Mysterious Shopper,
And why I was hesitant...
Blahh blahh blahh,
etc., etc., etc.
And so forth,
Then asked her:
"With all the millions of
Dollars that Lucille BALL has,
Why is she so concerned about saving $5.00 today?"
Mrs. Carter looked at my name tag,
Then looked me sweetly in the eyes and whispered,
"RRRRRick RRRRREED,
How do you think she GOT those millions of dollars?"
Okay.
I replied immediately,
Like any partner in true crime:
"What's in it for me?"...
And she responded:
“What do you want?"
Hmmmm.
I said "I want an autographed 8xl0 glossy photo of LUCY,
Saying I Love RICKY".
She took my address,
I sold her the blender then she was gone.
About 5 days later I got the photo in the mail,
Just as I had asked.
I figure that the photo probably cost LUCY about two cents,
And the postage was about $1.02...
