This Thanksgiving day George is looking forward to a quiet little dinner for two So let's meet the people who live in the Burns house George and Gracie Boy that turkey smells good. Oh, I'm glad judge. I love to cook for you Really sure that's half the fun of being married Taking things for you to put in that cute little tummy of yours

Funny I was just thinking I take it out of one pot and you put it I never... Anyway, it's nice just the two of us are having a nice little cozy Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, it will be cozy owners. Just you and me and the sailor.

The sailor? Yeah. I was at the Hollywood canteen last night and I saw this sailor. He was dancing with Rita Hayworth and Hedy Lamarr was waiting to cut in. And I said to myself, all this poor lonesome boy, what can I do to get my little friend here?

You were sorry for the poor kid. Certainly. Here it is, thanks, Diving, and he has no relative to dance with only strangers. Yeah, she must have been miserable. Yeah, so I invited him to dinner, and I want to do everything I can to make him feel at home.

For example, he's used to the ocean, so I'll put salt in his water. I'll give him a nice appetite. Well, I hope so. I want to cram a lot of food into him, so he'll come out even.

He'll come out even? Yeah, once in my life I want to see a sailor whose panther is tight in front of the yarn back. Well, I think it's a wonderful idea having a serviceman to share our Thanksgiving dinner.
