Before I go any further, ladies and gentlemen
I′d like to introduce the members of my crew to you
That are doing such a fantastic job

First of all, the young ladies that opened our show tonight
And they really live up to their name, ladies and gentlemen

The beautiful quartet voices you hear in the back
Belong to the great Imperials, ladies and gentlemen

His name is Ronnie, Ronnie Tutt

Guy that plays a whole lot of fender bass
His name is Jerry Scheff

So that's, uh
That′s Tutt and that′s Scheff
That's Tutt Scheff anyway you look at it, boy, I′ll tell you for sure
Sure got a lot of nerve, boy

Young man on organ and piano
His name is Larry Muhoberac

This time I got it right, huh?
