Folks, you got trouble! Trouble in Riverdale City!
In a parody of "Trouble" from THE MUSIC MAN, the narrator explains that Archie has got trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with P, and that stands for Pool -- that is, the pool in Veronica's house, which tempts Archie to try and live a life of luxury he can't afford.

At one point the narrator gets mixed up and says "She'll nurse him, rehearse him, and give out the news that the Southland gave birth to the blues!" This ("sorry, wrong song") is a quote from the song "Birth of the Blues."
