Frederika

Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad out. Here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the lovely operator, Frederica, with the great music of Franz Lajar, starring Gordon MacRae and his charming guest, Patricia Morrison. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Lubox, and the music is prepared and

conducted by Carmen Dragot. Yes, tonight another great musical success is brought to you by the the American Railroad, the same railroads that bring you most of the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fewer you burn, and all the other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon. Thank you. Thank you, Marlon Miller. And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight I shall be the poet, Gertr. And lovely Patricia Morrison, the girl he loved all his life.

The unforgettable Frederica. Absolutely Frederica. It's a far. Why not? Why not? The gold in the sky and the silver in the tree tops are spinning us so warm. Every leaf has a voice, every breath of wind plays a melody.

Listen! How will you always wish to dance with me? Always, Frederica. How will you dance for a poet? Ah, that's the trouble with the world. Nobody believes a poet can do anything but moon and pastures, and we're silly clothes.

Oh, the whole forest is singing. Frederica, Frederica. I want to be with you always. But someday you'll be famous. You'll forget me. And this tiny forest in the country. How could I have? Every thought I have, every theme I have, every...

...pream I have is Frederica. Rising star, my rising justice. Rising star, I know you're right beginning and the end. I'm the only one who's in the city. So I'm all alone.
