Holiday Inn

Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. Here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads brings you Paramount Pictures' great Irving Berlin musical success, Holiday Inn starring Gordon MacRae, and his guest from the Metropolitan Opera Dorothy Kirsten.

Our choir is of the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another thrilling 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 furlough you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life. And now here is our star, Gordon Hackney!

Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well, Sir Dorothy Kirsten and I have a wonderful invitation for you. It's inscribed with the musical magic of Mr. Irving Berlin, and you're all invited.

Don't be holiday If you burden down with trouble If you serve our wear and thin Heart you load down the road And comes a holiday If the traffic noise affects you Like a sweetie violin If you care down the stairs And come to holiday Happy holiday the town of Christmas Thank you

Can you tell me where I can find the owner of Holiday Inn, Mr. Jim Hardy? My best friend. He's a wonderful guy, really. And would you tell him that Linda Mason is here to see him?

Oh, he'll be delighted to see you. I know. Because I'm Jim Hardy. Oh, excuse me. Oh, what a darling blade. Yeah, sure is. Bill Piafellow, who was too lazy to work 365 days a year, so he decided to open an Inn that would run only on holidays.
