Scene:  Vi explaining the basic don'ts of working at the diner to Iris.

[LC]  Don't put ketchup on the cornflakes.

Don't put pickles in the pancakes.

Don't put batter in the stew.

Do, and I will batter you.

Don't pour salt into a malted.

Don't.  Who wants a malted salted?

Don't serve pea soup on a bun.

Do, and you'll be on the run.

Don't put sauerkraut on an apple pie,

And don't put chocolate fudge on ham on rye.

Don't pour gravy on the custard.

Don't serve coffee cake with mustard.

No rhubarb in the barbecue.

And if you don't do these don'ts,

Then, my friend, I'm telling you, ah, then you'll do.

[IC]  I won't put ketchup on the cornflakes.

I won't put pickles in the pancakes.

Won't put batter in the stew.

[LC]  Do, and I will batter you.

[IC]  I won't pour salt into a malted.

Won't.

[IC, LC]  Who wants a malted salted?

[IC]  Won't serve pea soup on a bun.

[LC]  Do, and you'll be on the run.

[IC]  Won't serve sauerkraut on apple pie.

Won't put chocolate fudge on ham on rye.

And won't put gravy on the custard.
Won't serve coffee cake with mustard.

No rhubarb in the barbecue.

[LC]  If you don't do these don'ts,

Then, my friend, yeah, I'm telling you, then you'll do.
