First Song-Did Your Mother Come From Ireland

1960. Top of the morning to you, Rosie. Top of the morning to you, Bing. And the luck of the Irish to all. And the Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, Ken. And the Happy St. Patrick's Day to all from general electric light bulbs and fells and company.

Well, I suppose you'll be singing, did your mother come from Ireland almost immediately, won't you, Bing? But I will. I sang it on Monday and McGorra. I'm going to sing it again today. Well, too, Ralura.

I'm going to close with that one. What else? Boy, I'd like to be in New York. That town really jumps on St. Patty's Day. Ray for the Irish. What a parade they got going there.

Oh man. I imagine you'd like to be there celebrating with Pan Harrington, Bird Wheeler, Jackie Gleason, Tutt Shore. Tutt's must be a case by now. Oh, that third avenue is a shambles. This is the day for it.

Now for the Irish, and for everybody listening. Here's, did your mother come from Ireland? Buddy, if you please me, lad. Did your mother come from Ireland? Cause there's something in your Irish Won't you tell me where you get those Irish Irish Irish Irish?

And before she left Killarney Did your mother kiss the Blarnie? Cause that little touch of broke you can't disguise I wouldn't be romancing I can almost see you dancing while the Carrie Piper's play Or maybe we'll be Sharon in the shamrock you'll be wearing On the next St. Patrick's Day Did your mother come from Ireland?

Cause there's something in your Irish And that bit of Irish deers my heart Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience, I wanna say- Hey, hey, can I'm not sure you're ready to go on the air now, are you?
