Revenge with Music

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the great Broadway musical hit, Revenge with Music, starring Gordon Macrae and his guest star from the Metropolitan Opera, Nadine Conner.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroad. The same railroads that 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 our star, Gordon MacRae! Thank you, Marlon Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, we have a Latin treat for you tonight. In the Arthur Schwartz Howard Deets' musical triumph, revenge with music.

Nadine Connor will be the lovely Señorator Maria, and I'll play Carlos, the lucky Caboero who's in love with her. But of course, everyone is in love with Maria when they watch her dance at Manuelos Tavern, and especially when she dances the Tarantella.

MUSIC Oh, Maria, my darling, I've never seen your dance with such excitement. Oh, why shouldn't I? My future husband is watching. Ha ha! You hear what she calls me, my friends? In all of Spain, is there anyone lovelier than my Maria?

Oh, no! Oh, will you say that about me, Connor? When we have been married 50 years? Oh, sweetheart, I will always say it. If there is someone with a new... But no, I am not blobber of the tavern.

What is it, your ex-dish? Don't call me my Excellency. I don't want anyone to know I'm the Governor of the province. Oh, of course not your ex-mane. Heh, heh, heh. Oh, tell me something, Manuel.
