Transcript

Good one speaking for labor brothers, makers of swan, the new white floating soap that's purer than finest casteels. While it's Tuesday night again, time for another pleasant visit with George Burns and Gracie Allen, their guest Frank Sinatra, Felix Mills in his orchestra and the Swan Ted.

And now meet the people who live in the Burns house, George and Gracie. Here they are. George and Gracie have just returned home from a tour of the army camps where they entertained the boys during their eight-week summer vacation.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Yes, but wasn't it fun entertaining the soldiers there? Yeah, our trip would have been perfect if it hadn't been for one little thing. What was that there? Well, I never got to sing Ain't Misbehaving.

You know, we'd kind of build up to the climax of our act to smash finish my song, and as soon as I started singing something would happen. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I'd get right to my favorite part.

You know, where I'd sing it, like Jackie Horner in the corner, don't go nowhere in a don't cam. That's where it happened. Yes, somebody always yelled dismissed, or somebody always blew a bugle. Yeah, in one camp they even fired a gun.

Yeah. I know, and it barely missed you. Yeah. That's a shame. You have such a lovely voice too. You already think so. Well of course. I wish you'd sing for me right now, Judge. Hardee, sweetheart.

There's just the two of us here. And I feel kind of foolish. Oh, please, Mama wants to hear her tell a little songbird. Oh, Gracie, I know. Oh, come on. Oh, you know that part that you think so well, the part that they always interrupt.
