Santa and the Pirates

When speaking for Lever Brothers, makers of Swan, the new white clothing stove. Well, let's choose the night again, time for another pleasant visit with George Burns and Gracie Allen.

Their guest, Akim Tamirov, Jimmy Cash and Paul Whiteman and his music. And now here are the six hits in a mist, singing Santa Claus is coming to town. March out, you better not cry, better not.

Burns House, George and Gracie. It's only two more nights till Christmas, and Gracie has already started to trim her tree. But as she hangs the ornaments, there's a worried look on her face. Her little duck Herman hasn't come home yet.

Oh, George, I wish you'd go out and hunt for the poor baby. It's way past his dinner time. Oh, calm down, Gracie. Even with a meat shortage, nobody would want that don duck. But he's never been out this late before.

Except that time he flew up on the Morton's clothes line and crawled into the seat of Mr. Morton's union suit. Mmm. Mind place for that kid to fall asleep. We mightn't have found him at all if Mr. Martin hadn't been ticklish.

Gracie, will you stop worrying about that silly duck? Come on, let's finish trimming the tree. Oh, all right, dear. Hand me that big silver star and some of those little jinkle-sick. Oh, George, I hear him on the porch. Open the door.

Come to Mama, darling. Why, you're frightened to death. And some of your tail feathers are missing. How did you lose them? It did not lose them. They're here in my hand. Oh my goodness, who are you?

I'm a Kim Tamirov. You're doing with Herman's tail feathers. Ah, it was a mistake. I was reaching for his neck. That's awful. My husband will take care of you. George, throw him out. But, Gracie, it's Christmas.
