Mel Blanc wanted Bugs Bunny
to be a tough guy,
so he made him talk
Brooklyn and Bronx.
 
On Sunset Boulevard
the tour guide said,
“Don’t worry,
he’ll get up,
he’s okay.”
 
The piano in Casablanca
is so small
it doesn’t have all the keys.
 
Rita Hayworth was an idiot.
She wrote,
“Thank’s Sid,”
in front of Grauman’s Chinese.
 
We saw the house
where Marilyn Monroe died
of a drug overdose.
Later we saw the house
where the rich guy
in the furniture business
died in his sleep of old age
dreaming of Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe's house is at 12305 5th Helena Drive. The famous actress died there of an overdose in 1962. Mel Blanc was the voice of Bugs Bunny. He almost died in a terrible car accident at Dead Man's Corner on Sunset Boulevard in 1961.
