My first evidence,

Your Honor, exhibit ""A.''

? Oh, ye'll take the high road

and I'll take the low road ?

? And I'll be in Scotland

afore ye ?

?But me and my true love ?

? Will never meet again ?

? On the bonny, bonny ?

? [ Singing Off-key ]

[ spectators Laughing ]

Don't stop singing, gentlemen.

Won't you sing a song for me?

? I'm afraid you wouldn't like

the old-time numbers that we sing ?

- Why?

- ? People don't like them nowadays ?

? All they want to do

is swing ?

Well, why don't you take an old song

and swing it? How would that be?

? But how do we do it ?

There's nothing to it.

?Just follow me ?

? First of all

you start to sway ?

? Back and forth

That's the way ?

? And now that you've

got yourself swingin' ?

? Do the same thing

with your singin' ?

? Swing me

an old-fashioned song ?

? Down by the old mill stream ?

? Da-da-dee-da-da, swing me

an old-fashioned song ?

? Old-fashioned song ?

? Croon me an old-fashioned tune

Da-da-da-da-da ?

? In the evening

by the moonlight ?

? You can hear

those darkies singing ?

- ? Ohh, croon me an old-fashioned tune ?

- ? Won't you croon a tune ?

?Just keep it soft and sweet

with rhythm from the start ?

? But keep that

old-time beat ?

? The beat that's

straight from the heart ?

? Swing me

an old-fashioned song ?

? I wandered today

through the hills, Maggie ?

? That's it, it's just

an old-fashioned song ?

? [ Scatting ]

? Dear old girl, the robins

sing about you ?

- ? Rah ?

- ? Dee-rah-dee-rah, rah, rah ?

Won't you try it?

? Oh, my darling

Oh, my darling, darling ?

? Croon me

an old-fashioned tune ?

?Just keep it

soft and sweet ?

? With rhythm

from the start ?

? But keep that

old-time beat ?

? The beat that's

straight from the heart ?

? Won't you swing us

an old-fashioned song ?

? Ye'll take the high road

and I'll take the low road ?

? And I'll be in Scotland

afore ye ?

- ? [ Scatting ]

- ? That's how to swing ?

- ?[ Vocalizing ]

- ? An old-fashioned song ?

? Now sing and you'll

be happy all day long ?

? Sing an old-fashioned song ?

- Yeah!

is going to town ?

? The toast of old Broadway

uptown and down ?

with a smile for a crown ?

Every one of them proud ?

? We need a new street

a just-for-you street ?

? And just for fun ?

? I'll show you

how it's done ?

? I'll build

a Broadway for you ?

? We'll trade the old

for the new ?

? I'll make you famous

in old Times Square ?

? I'll have your name

in neon shining there ?

? You'll be their

favorite child ?

? You'll have the crowds

going wild ?

? I'll build a dream street

where wishes come true ?

? I'll build a Broadway

for you ?
