the iceman... you been steppin' out with the COBBLER! Yeah, I
know you been - you been doin' all the nightclubs in town... I
ain't seen a woman in SIXTY-NIIIINE years and I'm gettin' tired
of it! Yeah, I gotta finish steppin' around... I'm gonna send
you into the wings! And I gotta get some good, good lovin...
and I been away too long! I'll start steppin' out, goin' up one

in town, play that music, get that good good lovin, do all them
things - that's what I'm gonna do! [fade]
