Andy Williams:
I’ll tell you what, forget

the whole thing. It’s your number.

Carl Williams:
We'll work it out.

I’ll talk to them. See you.

Jane Lodger:
I hope so. And thank you, Carl and Violet.

Violet Lodger:
Yeah, I’ll see you later.

Jane Lodger:
Andy, That was close. I was worried.

Andy Williams:
I never had a doubt.

Jane Lodger:
Gentlemen, the winner

and new champion!

Andy Williams, Jane Lodger, Violet Lodger, Ernest Williams, Carl Williams and Charlotte Lodger: The fox went out on a chilly night,

he prayed to the Moon to give him light,

for he'd many a mile to go that night

before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o,

he had many a mile to go that night

before he reached the town-o.

He ran till he came to a great big bin

where the ducks and the geese were put therein.

"A couple of you will grease my chin

before I leave this town-o, town-o, town-o,

a couple of you will grease my chin

before I leave this town-o."

He grabbed the grey goose by the neck,

threw the grey goose behind his back;

he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,

and their legs all a-dangling down-o, down-o, down-o,

he didn't mind their quack, quack, quack,

and their legs all a-dangling down-o.

Old Mother pitter patter jumped out of bed;

out of the window she cocked her head,

Crying, "John, John! The grey goose is gone

and the fox is on the town-o, town-o, town-o!"

Crying, "John, John, the grey goose is gone

and the fox is on the town-o!"

Then John he went to the top of the hill,

blew his horn both loud and shrill,

the fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill

He’ll soon be on my trail-o, trail-o, trail-o."

The fox he said, "I'd better flee with my kill

He’ll soon be on my trail-o."

He ran till he came to his cozy den;

there were the little ones eight, nine, ten.

They said, "Daddy, better go back again,

'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-o!"

They said, "Daddy, better go back again,

'cause it must be a mighty fine town-o."

Then the fox and his wife without any strife

cut up the goose with a fork and knife.

They never had such a supper in their life

and the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o,

they never had such a supper in their life

and the little ones chewed on the bones-o.

EXT. Tower Grove Park - 1951 - NEW YEAR’S EVE - DAWN

Violet:
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely

Standing on the corner feeling blue

Sweethearts out for fun, pass me one by one

Guess I'll wind up like I always do, with only

Me and my shadow

Strolling down the avenue

Me and my shadow

Not a soul to tell our troubles to

And when it's twelve o'clock, we climb the stair

We never knock, cause nobody's there

Just me and my shadow

All alone and feeling blue

Me and my shadow

Strolling down the avenue

And when it's twelve o'clock, we climb the stair

We never knock, for nobody's there

Just me and my shadow

Strolling down the avenue

All alone and feeling blue

EXT. Gaslight Square - 1951 - NEW YEAR’S EVE - DAY

Jane Lodger:
The moment I saw him smile

I knew he was just my style

My only regret is we've never met

Though I dream of him all the while

But he doesn't know I exist

No matter how I may persist

So it's clear to see

There's no hope for me

Though I live at fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue

And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three

How can I ignore the boy next door?

I love him more than I can say

Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me

And he never sees me glance his way

And though I'm heart-sore, the boy next door

Affection for me won't display

I just adore him so I can't ignore him

The boy next door

I just adore him so I can't ignore him

The boy next door

EXT. 15 Portland Pl, Saint Louis, MO 63108 - 1951 - NEW YEAR’S EVE - NIGHT

Andy Williams:
All right boys and girls, It’s new year’s party for all of kids, alright here we go.

Kids:
Hooray!

Andy Williams:
You put a piece of carbon paper under your heart

And gave me just a copy of your love

Each dove and pigeon'll

Know who got the original

Darling, can't you see

What you mean to me?

Oh, how you fooled me

With those giggles, winks, and nudges.

The love that you gave me

Was a duplicate with smudges.

'Cause you put a piece of carbon paper under your heart

And gave me just a copy-

Here we go, everybody-

[instrumental]

Oh, how you fooled me

With those giggles, winks, and nudges

The love that you gave me

Was a duplicate with smudges.

'Cause you put a piece of carbon paper under your heart

And gave me just a copy of

Gave me just a second sheet of love.

Jane Lodger:
Heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek

Oh, I love to climb a mountain

And to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

Violet Lodger:
As I watch the sky

I think of you

How you let me alone

As the clouds drift by

When the sky is so blue

As blue as your eyes

Why'd you drift away?

Like the clouds in the sky

Oh ,I search the sky

And wonder where you are

You used to be - so close to me

But now you're far as the sky

Even late at night

I wonder where you are

As I wish for you all this time As the clouds drift by

Oh ,I search the sky

And wonder where you are

You used to be - so close to me

But now you're far as the sky

Oh... Even late at night

I wonder where you are

As I wish for you all this time

As the clouds drift by

As the clouds drift by...
