"Hey, Max, gimme your A"
"Ladies and gentlemen,
here we are on stage five
at the paramount studio in Hollywood"
"All the stars of the radio are gathered here
All together in one big motion picture "the big broadcast"
The paramount studio orchestra is getting ready to obey
The Commands of Nat Finston's baton
About ready to go, Nat?"
"Yes, that's right"
"While the boys are rehearsing,
let's take a look at the cast over there on the sidelines
Look, there's Kate Smith, and there's Burns and Allen
The Mills Brothers, Vincent Lopez, The Boswell sisters,
and there's Cab Calloway
In fact, they're all here but Bing Crosby
But hold steady, girls, he'll be here, too, in a minute
Boy, what a cast"
"All your radio favourites in one big picture
And look, there are some big screen names, too
Stuart Erwin, Leila Hyams and Sharon Lynn
Ah, here he comes. Here he is. There's Bing"
"And now here's the announcement you've been waiting for
Bing Crosby has just arrived on the scene,
and I'm gonna ask him to say a few words to you himself
Hello, Sam, I'm awfully sorry to have kept you waiting
But I had to finish a little scene I was doing with Stuart Erwin
Now, if I may, I'd like to sing a song
One of the songs is being featured in "the big broadcast"
It's called "Please"
Please
Lend your little ear to my pleas
Lend a ray of cheer to my pleas
Tell me that you love me too
Oh, please
Let me hold you tight in my arms
I could find delight in your charms
Every night my whole life through
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
But how long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed that happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too
(Bing da da dees)
Your eyes reveal that you have the soul of
An angel white as snow
But how long must I play the role of
A gloomy Romeo?
Oh, please
Say you're not intending to tease
Speed the happy ending and please
Tell me that you love me too
Now, if you'll excuse me, please,
I have to get back to the set of "the big broadcast"
Goodbye
