Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, the Railroad Hour. The The other thrilling musical is brought to you by the American Railroad.

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. Our show train is filled with melody and magic by Rodgers and Hammerstein tonight. And when you add Lucille Norman, well, we think that's something to shout about.

What do you say everybody? Yeah! There is a great state mayor. Don't miss it, don't even be late. Now to the car. I got a chance for the first prize this year, April.

If I was a judge, you'd get it. April. What's that in your pocket? Now, Ma, you haven't been using my best hairbrush on that hog. Blue boys, no hog. He's a prize-hanger boy, and he's going to win the blue ribbon at the state fair.

It's me. Don't you feel good child? Oh, I'm alright, I guess. I don't really know what's wrong with me. I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm. I'm as junky as a lady that I had spring fever.

But I know I'm a starry, I didn't vaguely discontent her. Like a nightingale. Should I have spray fever? Has a spider spin? Haven't seen it?

Sulfur and molasses? No, fix it up. Three days at the state fair. I'm gonna put blue boy in your pen. Hey, come on, blue boy. Come on. Head in the world. What's the matter, Bobby Locks?

You got the money for a ride? Oh, sure. But I'm afraid of roller coasters. Oh, come on. We'll ride it together. I'm a boy, Bobby Locks. But I... I don't even know your name. I'm Pat Gilbert.
