Appear at a party at her mother's saloon; she invites nick and he accepts.

With you on my arm,

To wear you like a charm,

Your glitter decorating my arm.

Now, natch'rally such proximity

Gives rumors a rise,

We'll let them analyze

What our amalgamation implies.

The gossips will press,

So willing to stress

The seamy side--

So what!

I want to be seen, be seen with you,

With you on my arm.

Let's give this town a light,

And hit it like a me-te-or-ite--tonight.

I want to be seen with you.

The moon over mother's saloon,

Have a nice macaroon

I'll buy you a light beer.

Nick:

Right, dear.
