Transcript

Transcribed. Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. And here comes our star-studded show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the delight-philosca-strouse operator, a waltz dream starring Gordon MacRae, and his celebrated guest Dorothy Kirsten.

Our choir is under the direction of Norm and Luboff, and our 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 McRae. Thank you, Marlon Miller and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're off for the fabulous Kingdom of Floss and Turn, where Dorothy Kirsten is a lovely Princess and I am a new husband, the brash young lieutenant Nikki.

Three quarter time, Istro, for a wall street. Sore subjects. Let us all welcome our princess and her new consort from Vienna. Ah, here they come, all the other now.

A roting world from here, my loyal subjects. It is my honor to present to you my new sullend law lieutenant. No, no, no, Mr. Big pardon. Have you a card? No, I don't. Don't be time-rude, but I didn't quite catch your name.

Nicholas. But his friend Colin Nicky, father. His name is Nicholas, but his nickname is Nicky. Ha ha ha ha. Well, my dear son-in-law, sureter, to make a speech. I have absolutely nothing to say, so...

Oh, that doesn't matter. I never had anything to say, but still to make a speech on every possible occasion. Teleminity you like. You say anything? Very well. Men are born to rule the land, and purple robes they don't have them.
