"Ivey Divey" = Cool, OK.
"Molley Trolley" = a rehearsal
"My/his people" = my/his fingers
"Can madam burn" = can your wife cook?
"Bob Crosby" = a narc.
"Bing" = another narc.
"Pound Cake" = a pretty girl
"play it vanilla" = play it straight, no embellishments
"I got bruised" = put on a bad show.
"I have eyes" = I admire.
"George Washington" = the bridge of a song.
