The Fire Chief presents a song called 'The Milkman's Horse Song,' which has the funny title 'Gee, How I Hate To Giddap In The Morning.' Next comes an opera written by the Chief named 'Dorothy Vernon Of Haddon Hall.' In this opera, Dorothy's Chinese butler performs a song titled 'I May Be Wong, But I Think You're Wonderful.' The opera also features a drinking song with the name 'Noses Are Blooming In Bacardi.'
