Very Warm for May

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight the Association of American Railroads presents the Jerome Kern Oscar-Hammerstein Second Musical Play, Very Warm for May, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest, Annamarie Dickie.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the American Railroads. 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 McRae. Milla and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, sir, in tonight's story, I'm Johnny Graham, a Broadway triple threat man, writer, actor, producer. And Anna Mary Dickie is a gal named May.

Who? Well, I think she's wonderful. It was spring when I first met Johnny Graham. He was walking down the street and he wasn't looking where he was going. And he bumped right into me. Hey, wait a minute. I didn't bump into you. You bumped into me.

You were wearing that big floppy hat and you couldn't see through it or out of it or something. I wasn't wearing a hat at all. You weren't so you wearing a great big silly carton.

Not Johnny. I don't intend to get trapped into that argument again. I was not wearing a hat and that's all there is to it. Okay, you were not wearing a hat. Were you wearing your head?

Mm-hmm. Oh, yes, Johnny. I was wearing my head, all right. But I lost it the moment I saw you. What did you think the first time you saw me? Well, I thought you were kind of scrawny, but you had possibilities.
