Transcript

The Avenue Costello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarettes that first in the service. Camels, they fresh and cool smoking because they're packed to go around the world. Listen to the music of Freddie Ridge and his orchestra in the songs of Connie Haynes.

Tonight's special guest, Miss Player Trevor and starring Bart Abbott and Zoos Costello. Hey, ah Costello. Hey, can I have you? Where have you been for the last three or four days? Oh, where have you been, Lou?

I've been looking all over for you. Oh, well, I've been up to my Uncle Artie, Stevin's ranch. I was picking vegetables. I'm hopping with the labor shortage outfit. That's very commendable, because, oh. Oh, sure.

Yeah, sure, that's me, I can't think of you. Yeah, I think it's wonderful. Hey, have everybody's hopping out. Yes, you should. And there was even a bunch of sailors working up there with me. Sailors picking vegetables?

Yeah, what a sight. It's the first time I ever saw sailors picking up tomatoes without wishlima madam. Who else was up with the ranks besides you? Well, I had a lot of beautiful movie stars up there with me, Avid.

You did? I had Darcy Lamour, I had Betty Grebel. They were working in a potato patch. Yes? But we had to make them stop. Why? The potatoes were coming up based. Ah! That's all. Isn't that rank like a little strenuous for you?

Oh, you said it. Every morning I got up before I am, I'd have looked at cows with my left hand. You looked at the cows with your left hand? Sure. That's my old cow hand.

Oh, I did it. Hey, all right, good turn. I like to see you getting up at four in the morning. It wasn't a dart. Oh, a dart. Well, I got this morning with short dart.
