11. What does the singing telegram girl sing? (Brazil - Movie, 1985)

Mrs. Ida Lowry requests the pleasure
of your companyyyy
at her apartment tonight,
from eight thirtyyyyy

to celebrate the completion

The guest of honor will be

Dep. Under Minister of State
for Public Informationnnn,
R.S.V.P. by singing telegram!
