Groucho Marx - Churchill & 2nd World War lyrics

Spoken: I don't know if you remember the 2nd World War, because there's so many now, it's hard to keep track of them. Well, during the 2nd World War, Hess had been sent by Hitler to try to negotiate peace with Churchill. Churchill at that time was in the projection room at 10 Downing Street running "Monkey Business". He sent an orderly to the door, and said "Tell him to come back after I've seen Monkey Business, and we'll discuss business." One night at the emba**y Winston Churchill's daughter Mary was my dinner partner. When the butler pa**ed around the cigars, she said "Take one for me." I said "What? What do you want a cigar for? You don't smoke cigars, do you?". She said "No, but my father does, Winston, and we play a little game.". I said "What kind of a game?". "I take a cigar, and he takes a cigar, and then he bets me a pound" - I think it was around two and a half dollars - "and we bet who can hold the ash on the cigar the longest." At this time he was running the British government. Now, you never think of a man like that trying to win two bucks from his daughter.
