-Thank you for all those cards and letters, you folks in television lant. We wonder where this television lant is. Could it be a couple of miles from where Dinney Lant is. Oh, well never the less you guys and gals in...
-What is that noise there?
-bunch of palsy-walsies -
-Oh, its the bubble machine. Turn off...just a moment... I...hold it just a moment please...turn off the bubble machine...please turn off the bubble. Thank you, Lemmon Sisters for that lovely number. Wunerful, wunerful. And now on with the show. Here's that man with the deep, deep voice, Larry Looper. Larry, What are you going to sing for us, Larry?

-Hold it just a moment. The bubbles don't come till the end of the program. Turn off the bubbles. Thank you Lar... thank you, Larry Looper, for that wunerful number. Now I would like to play a short instrumental medley based on the names of girls.
A-wun and a-too...no...no, thats not it...thank you so very much. And now, here's that young man about town from the brass section, Stoney Stonedwell, to sing Please.
-Please. Lend your little ears to my plea -
-What is the matter with that machine. Here, hit it with your horn...hit it...here...stick your mouthpiece in it there. Wunerful, wunerful. And now on with the show. Here's our champagne lady Alice Lean. Alice is going to sing Moonlight and Shadows. A-wun and a-too and a...
-Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in twenty-five years my popping finger is caught in my cheek. Will you give me a hand there, Alice...here, pull my arm...no, the other arm...just pull it...
pull it...thats it.
-Moonlight and shadows and you in my arms. And the melody in the bamboo tree, my sweet. Even in shadows...
-Hold it, somebody stop the bubble machine. The whole ballroom is lathering up with bubbles. And now I can't see the cameras. Here, let me set that accordion down on the stage and I'll try to fix that. Bear with us, folks just a moment please. Gee, the time is running out and we haven't even played the polka. Wait a minute, boys, I didn't mean...hold it, Alice, don't polka on my accordion.
-Gee, Dad, it was a Wurlitzer. Hit the theme, boys. And so its goodnight from all the champagne... wheres the cameras...theres so many bubbles I can't...and so, friends, we...help, the whole ballroom is shoving off to sea...
-Sure is a clear night, ain't it, Captain?
-Yup, Matey, these are the kind of nights when the sea plays tricks on ye.
-Yeah, I recollect one night off Singapore...
-Tricks, I say, like that mirage off the port bow, now.
-What?
-See it there, kinda bubbly looking in the moonlight?
-Oh, yeah. Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like the Aragon Ballroom.
-Yeah...dee-deedee dee-dee dee dee dee-dee
-Hey, thats a catchy chantey you're humming there, Captain. What is it?
-Oh, I don't know. Just keeps running through my head.
-Let's go below and catch a little shut-eye.
-Help! Help! Wunerful, wunerful. Turn off the bubble machine. Help...help...
