Transcript

The Abbot and Costello program starring Bud Abbott and Luke Costello brought to you by Camel, the cigarette of Costlier, properly aged tobacco. The Abbot and Costello program with a modern rhythm of Will Osbourne and his orchestra, Iris Adrian, singing star Connie Haynes, and spotlighting that chubby chunky little cherub, who when caught trying to rent his kid brother to a freak show,

because he heard his mother say he had grown another foot, calmly said, I'm... Well, Castello late again. Here I get you a nice job in Melon Heads department store and on the very first day you come in late for work.

Well, what's your excuse this time? Well, I've been out on Hollywood Boulevard and I was watching a Santa Claus parade. And what a parade. I know that. First came to big bunch of movie stars and then came Santa Claus and after Santa Claus came the beautiful lady, Kativa, on the big white horn.

Well, what came after Lady Kativa? The cops. Stop talking like a child. Horses in a Christmas parade. Oh, I had to have all kinds of animals and afraid of it. You should have seen that great big giraffe.

Giraffe? Yeah, you know what, Avoc? What? I wish I was the body of a giraffe, and Lana Turner was the head. You wish I was the body of a giraffe, and Lana Turner was the head-wise.

I always wanted the long neck with Lana Turner. Cuz... Cuz, still again. Get busy and dust off those counters. Come on, now. No, you touched off the counter. Get over there and dust them off.

I've got to hang up the sign. Oh boy, isn't that a beautiful sign? What did I say? Look at it. Original gowns by Costello. Nifty creations, dresses and capes for slender young figures and group the old shapes.
