Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. And here comes our star studded show train! Tonight the Association of American Railroads brings you a new musical play by Lawrence and Lee, the familiar stranger, starring Gordon Macray and his charming guest, Dorothy Warren Cho.
Our choir is under the direction of Norman Luboff, and our music is prepared and conducted by Carmen Dragon. Yes, tonight another exciting musical first is brought to you 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. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Dorothy Warren Show will be Gene Myers in this week's musical adventure, and I'll be, well, you can call me the familiar stranger.
Now I ask you, did you ever have an experience like this? You see your face in a summer night She smiles at you, her eyes are bright And though you never met, you'll swear You saw that girl before somewhere Seen it before, don't know where Seen it before, don't know where Seen it before, don't know where
Now what do you think of that? You see a girl on a crowded train You get a feeling you can't explain Your brain complains that it can't be true But you know her, she knows you It's seen to be Ford on nowhere Seen to be Ford on nowhere Seen to be Ford on nowhere
What do you think of that? A nose and mouth and a pair of eyes Can give a man a big surprise You may not know the lazy name You know you know her just the same See the beautiful of nowhere, see the beautiful Are you clean?
