The Firefly

Ladies and gentlemen, the railroad hour. At the show train. Tonight, the Association of American Railroads presents the memorable Fremel operator, the Firefly, starring Gordon MacRae and his celebrated guest, Dorothy Warren Show.

Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and the music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another great musical favorite is brought to you, transcribed by the American Railroads. The same railroads that bring you the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the fuel you burn, and the multitude of other things you use in your daily life.

And now here is our star, Gordon MacRae. Thank you, Marvin Miller, and good evening ladies and gentlemen. Rudolph Premill has given us some wonderful music to sing. Has Dorothy Warren Should and I bring you the Firefly.

My name is Jack Travers. I'm an ordinary guy living in New York, work full of you. I'm engaged to be married to the wealthy and social Miss Geraldine Van Dere. Do I love her? I'm not sure, because I'm the kind of fella who always wants something you can't get.

You hear that? A girl like that. I saw her just once on a crowded corner in New York. She was a street singer with her face and her voice. Hell, I've never forgotten it. If you care, do any steps for day Wait! Don't go away, tell me your name But everybody in this neighborhood knows my name, Signor

I am the Firefly Just as a Firefly loses itself from the night, she disappeared into the crowd But I ever see her again, I knew this much I will never forget her smile, to taunt, and the promise The promise in a woman's smile A who who can explain A prophecy of trust for God
