Hold That Ghost

---

And when my baby

When my baby

smiles at me

Gee, what a wonderful

wonderful light

That comes

to her eyes

Look at the light,

folks

There's the light

that just brings love

That's it

that's it

That says peace on earth

goodwill to all men

And it brings

real harmony

I sigh, I cry

Why, it's just

a bit of heaven

When my baby

When my baby

smiles at me

Is everybody happy

Mr. Gregory.

What is it?

The relief waiters

are here.

What are you staring at?

Ice water.

C'mon, you guys, get your

money out before I shoot.

Put that dough in

and don't try any tricks.!

When I say I'll shoot,

I'll shoot.

I win!

I win again!

Who are you?

The relief waiters.

We used to work at a gas

station. The agency sent us.

With all the people out of

work, the agency sent you two!

Nice of you to say that. As busy

as we are, I'll make the best of it.

Button your coat. Straighten

your tie. Yes, sir.

Be neat.

Pull down your vest.

I want no trouble. You won't have any.

One mistake and I'll throw

you out. Yes, you will.

Yes, I will!

I said you would!

Get in there. Follow me. Yes, sir.

Hmm-hmm.

We want our patrons to feel like

they're members of one happy family.

I just saw the Andrews

Sisters, the three of'em.

Quiet.

These are your tables.

See if you can make a

waiter out of this... person.

I'll try.

A snooty fella!

When a customer comes in,

push the chair under them.

When they get up,

pull the chair back.

When they sit, push it in.

When they get up, back.

What happens here? When you get your

order, show the checker your slip.

I what? Show the checker your slip.

I can't.

Why not?

I'm ashamed to tell. I'm not

wearing any. No, check on your food.

Me...

and my shadow

Yes, sir

Strolling down

That avenue

Ah, say

Just me

And my

little shadow

Not a soul

to tell our troubles to

You know

when it's 12 o'clock

We climb the stairs

We never, never knock

Because

there's nobody there

Just me

Me

And my shadow

uh-huh

All alone

and feelin' blue

Remember everything I told you. Yeah.

If he wants to sit, push the chair

in. If he gets up, pull it out.

Anybody knows that. Three important

things I want you to remember:

If a customer asks how much

is dinner, say "$3."

If they say "It's too much,"

say, "See the manager. "

"We won't eat here. " You say, "If

you don't, somebody else will. "

Somebody else will?

That's all.

I've got to wait on the table. Run it

over in your mind. I'll keep punchin'!

If I wanna be a good waiter,

I gotta remember.

$3 for dinner; go tell the manager;

if you don't, somebody else will.

$3; tell the manager; if you

don't, somebody else will.

Hello, girls.

Oh!

Where'd that guy go? What

did you pull that chair for?

Three dollars. I'll report you for this.

Tell it to the manager. I

oughta punch you in the nose.

If you don't,

somebody else will.

Introducing three wonderful

singers of wonderful songs.

The Andrews Sisters;

Maxene, Laverne,

and Patty.

When stars appear

I seem to hear

A serenade

I watch the moon

And then my tune

is softly played

The music thrills

And gently fills

my heart with bliss

I hear the theme

And want to dream

and reminisce

I close my eyes

'Neath the blanket

of indigo skies

And my serenade sighs

Like a breeze

from heaven above

Even at dawn

When the stars and

the moonlight have gone

My refrain

lingers on

Like a memory

of love

Though love has flown

and I'm always alone

I'm not afraid

I'll always keep

my dreamy

My sleepy serenade

I like to dream

a sleepy...

Serenade

and dream my life away

To a dreamy

Sleepy serenade

Good evening, Alderman. How

is Mrs. Birch? Swell, thanks.

I'll get you a ringside table. No, please.

I'd like a table

in the corner somewhere.

Here I am,

Daddy.

Oh, this way,

please.

Hey, you.

Excuse me.

How do you do?

Thank you.

Good evening, folks.

Want to start with soup?

I don't like soup. Give me the reason.

I don't have to, other

than I don't like soup!

Maybe the young lady would.

She doesn't like soup.

It's good soup. I don't

care how good it is!

We don't want soup!

Somebody's gotta eat the soup!

Feed it to the chef. The

chef is souped up now!

I think I will have soup.

You'll do nothing of the sort.

Oh, Daddy! Don't talk back to your father.

I'm not her father. Then

let the lady have some soup.

All right, give her soup.

Give us both some soup!

We ran out of soup.

You've got it on the menu!

I'll take it off. We ain't gonna

give you nothin' we ain't got.

I'm awful glad he ain't your father. Ahem.

Here, wash it down.

I think you're

awful cute.

Oh, Gregory.

Mr. Bannister.

Moose Matson is right

over there. All right.

Mr. Bannister?

Thanks for leading me

to the Moose.

Charlie, this is not the time

to start anything with the Moose.

I'm here to finish it. He's

afraid you'll double-cross him.

I will in

exactly 15 minutes.

I'll prove it to the

district attorney. Prove what?

Never mind. Just whisper

"payroll job" to the Moose.

He'll know.

You sure?

He'll know I'm the only guy in

the world that can pin it on him.

He never mentioned it to me. Why should he?

You're only his front man,

sidekick and back-stabber.

How much of it do you want? All of it.

But the Moose being a

friend, I'll settle for half.

Hello, hello!

Hi, Moose.

Meet my top man, Mr.

Bannister. C'mon, sit down.

Let's make it a foursome. Here's

that legal matter you dictated.

Will it hold up in court? He's the lawyer.

Says it's screwy but it's

ironclad. There's something else.

I just ran into

Charlie Smith.

Girls, powder your noses.

Go on, beat it.

Don't be long, Moose. Okay, honey.

C'mon.

Well?

Charlie said you beat him to

the Worthington payroll job.

He wants a 50-50 cut to keep

quiet. That cap-pistol hoodlum!

If you don't come across, he'll tell

the D.A. Let the stool pigeon sing!

If you've got the cash,

we oughta make him an offer.

I've got it. But tell him he's got

to find it before he can cut in.

Where is it? I'm on your

side. You can tell me.

Sure. The hiding place for my money...

is in my head.

Is everybody happy?

Yes!

Then everybody dance!

C'mon, Daddy. Didn't you

hear what Ted Lewis said?

"Everybody dance. "

No, thank you.

All right. I'll find another

partner! If you do, I'll leave.

Put it down here.

Your food, sir.

Eat it yourself!

Yeah, boy! If he wants to be

kind, it's all right with me.

Is everybody happy? Everybody! Me too.

What do you call this? Duck.

What's the matter?

Somebody throw something?

No, no. That's the duck. Oh, I thought...

No, no. I want two legs. Two legs.

How many legs are on this?

You can't do it that way.

Put that down before you cut

your hands. I'm spankin' it!

Pull a leg off. I don't care how I get it.

That's it. C'mon, give. The boss!

You're both fired! Back

to the gas station.!

Get out!

I'm sorry we was thrown out. Keep quiet.

I apologize.

Never mind.

Now when my baby

smiles at me

Doot-dee-doot

Give me that!
