Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad out. I started showtrick. Tonight, the Association of American Railroad presents the delightful Romburg operator Blue Paradise, starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest from the Metropolitan Opera, Nadine Connor. Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragot.

Yes, tonight another memorable musical 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 McSway. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight you have a front table at the most fabulous men anywhere in the world, the Blue Paradise.

I'm the one who's sleeping, walk beside The same that's fine, I'm in the front of my knees Everyone's there in one of the air Staying in and with the lake Sweet as the sweetest love I've ever had It's only the children that may cry You're born near the danniest waters of the Four of the worlds in love

Oh, it's criminal, my friends, to leave a place as wonderful as the Blue Paradise. But you're going to America, Rudy. What an opportunity. But I don't want to make money, Apple. I want to make love.

No, wonder your father sending you away. Yes, beggar. No matter where you go, your table will always be waiting for you, here at the Blue Paradise. Thank you, Fran. You're the best waiter in Vienna.

And maybe when I get back, I can afford bigger tips. Meanwhile, my friends, I give you a toast. The blue paradise, and while we're at it, the look in a woman dies. There's a talk to women's eyes that guide the foolish and the wise.
