Pirelli: You hear this foolish man? Watch and see how he will regret his folly.

Pirelli: REady?

Todd: Ready.

Pirelli: To shave-a da face, to pull-a da toot, Require da grace and not-a da brute For if you slip and nick-a da skin, you clip-a da chin You rip-a da lip a bit And dats-a da trut!

To shave-a da face or even a part Widout it-a smart require da heart it takes-a da art I show you a chrt I study-a starting in my yout!

To cut-a da hair To trim-a da beard To make-a da bristle Clean as a whistle dis is from early infancy Da talent give to me By God
