Sir Geoffrey : Brahm's Lullaby.
Eustace Charleton Haney : Then that's what we was playin.'
Sir Geoffrey : That was not Brahm's Lullaby.

Ralph Monroe : [to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby] La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah, la-da-dah, dah...
Sir Geoffrey : Fine. Now, let's all hum it together.
Band members : [to the tune of Brahms' Lullaby] La-da-dah, la-da-dah, la-da-dah-dah, da-da-dah...
