Best Foot Forward

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the hilarious musical hit George Abbott's Best Foot Forward, starring Betty Garrett, Eileen Wilson, and your host Gordon Macrae, with Jerome Cowan, Bill Shirley, Alice Pierce, Gloria Wood, Joseph Kearns, and from the original Broadway cast, Gill Stratton Jr.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubalt, and our music is arranged and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroads. The same railroads that also bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is Gordon McRae! Thank you and good evening ladies and gentlemen! Well, we're going back to prep school tonight for the light heart of musical hit, Best Foot Forward. And we're coming on the campus just in time for the spring prom.

We've got an all-star cast to sing the wonderful Hugh Martin Ralph playing songs. So are you already gang? Mucko! What's the best school in the whole darn state of Pennsylvania? Mucko! Yeah! Buckle down, wind, socky, buckle down.

You can win, wind, socky if you knuckle down. If you break their necks, if you make them rice, You can break the hexabucka-dong! Knock-go-dong! Go-zog! Knock-go-zog! You can win, win, sock if you buckle down!

Now, if you mow them down, if you go to town, you can wear the crown if you will only knock-go-dong! That's the old fight gang! Hey, freshman, hurry up for those decorations! Hey, we sure have to hurry, Greenie.
