Transcript

such a judge now saying I'm doing time of crime. The Johnson's Wax and Johnson's self-polishing blow coat present Fibber McGee and Molly, written by Don Quins with songs by Martha Tilton and the Kingsmen and music by Billy Mills.

No, sir. And here, driving up to the house, frostbitten but triumphant, we find that lumberjack who saves Jack on his lumber. Fiver of Fiver McGee and Molly. Gotta get them breaks fixed. Boy am I cool.

Well, come on, Christmas tree, come to Papa. You got a new home. You're getting snow all over the hall. Why didn't you stamp your feet? Why should I stamp my feet? I ain't mad at anybody.

Besides, they're so cold. I'm just walking from memory. Oh. There you poor lad. Let me take this cold and you're mittin'. Thanks, Molly. Hey, take a gun at that tree, will ya? H.C. of Hopper?
