Swans, a soap that's pure and gentle. Come on, come on, swing to swans. Sing! Sing! Swans, a new white-bloving soap presents the Burns and Allen Show with Paul Whiteman. Ah! Our singer Jimmy Cash, your old friend Bill Goodwin, the tickets hit for the mint, and the stars of our show, George Burns and Gracie Allen.

Ah! And now to the Burns House, where we find George and Gracie. Well, they say isn't nice to be back home again. Oh yes, everybody's been so sweet to us. Wasn't that a wonderful homecoming party on neighbor's favorite last night?

Say that was quite a party. Yes, I love those games we played. Wasn't it a ride when they grindfolded me and I tried to pin the tail on the donkey? That's a fan of confound.

Oh, that reminds me, dear, would you like another coach Nundian? No thanks, I healed pretty fast. And wasn't it fun when we took turns acting our famous events of history. They never did get dollars.

Oh, they didn't do that. It was easy too. The purchase of Manhattan Island from the Indians. I just stood there and you gave me $24. That's right. I can't understand why everybody thought it was Moses getting water out of a rock.

I thought it was a rock. Well, neither can I. Are you sure you don't want another cushion there? Oh, what's wrong? Boy, you're sitting there at school. I always sit that way. I would have enjoyed the party last night a lot more if you hadn't been so mean to me, though.

I was mean to you? Well, remember when they wanted me to make a little speech because I was against the bana? Yeah. I asked you the home I played of chicken salad in my cup of coffee.
