Lou Wants To Join The Merchant Marines

The Avern and Costello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette that's first in the service according to actual sales records. See if your throat and your taste don't make Camel a first with you too. Find out for yourself.

Listen to the great rhythms of Freddie Ritch and his orchestra, the swingy singing of Connie Haines. And that roly-poly little roadhog who, whenever he's stopped by a traffic cop, always says, Hey! Hey, Costello, Costello, come here.

Where have you been? Hey, wait a minute. And where did you get that suit? It looks like a naval officer's uniform. Oh, a naval officer's uniform! Huh? I should have up the Titanic. I'm going to join the merchant marine.

How do you like the French uniform? Get a little gold bread on my cap. The gold bread on my sleeve. Wait a minute, Costello. That's a nice uniform, all right? But you've got the pants on backwards.

I know. I want to be a red bull. I have a lot of people in this room. Look, you can't get in the merchant marine. you couldn't pass the physical examination. Who couldn't have it? I walked in a recruit and opened the South Moon and everybody stood up and the captain pointed at me and he said, boys, there's a whale of a man. The captain said you were a whale

of a man? Well he didn't use them same word. What did he say? He said, boys, get a little of that big hunk of plover. You know, I can hardly wait till I get on my ship habit. Sailing, sailing over the founding New Jersey. Now wait a minute, wait, wait a minute. That's over the bounding main. I come from Patterson, no Jersey.
