But Casey still ignored it,

and the umpire said, quote...

St-t-t-t-t-trike two!

- Unquote.

- [Booing]

"Fraud,"cried the maddened thousands,

and the echo answered, "Fraud!"

But one scornful look

from Casey...

and the audience was awed.

They saw his face

go stern and cold.

They saw his muscles strain.

And they knew that Casey

would not let that ball go by again.

[All]

Ooh!

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip.

His teeth are clenched in hate.

He pounds with cruel violence

his bat upon the plate.

And now the pitcher holds the ball,

and now he lets it go.

And now the air is shattered

by the force of Casey's blow!

[Women]

Somewhere in this favored land

- The sun is shining bright

- [Chirping]

[Colonna]

Ah, yes.

[Women]

Somewhere bands are playing sweet

[Full Chorus]

And somewhere hearts are light

[Colonna]

Somewhere men are laughing

[Laughing]

Somewhere children shout

[Thunderclaps]

But there is no joy

in Mudville.

Mighty Casey has struck out!

[Sobbing,

Blubbering]

[Angry Yell]

[Frustrated Grunts]

[Chorus, Colonna]

Casey, the pride of them all

[Colonna Sustaining Note]

All

What do you know?

The game is over.

Two silhouettes

Together in the afterglow

Two silhouettes

Become as one

When lights are low

And with the night

slumbering on

We'll build a dream

for two

Aperfect dream

set to a theme

Lovely as you

Two hearts on fire

Will soon inspire

The stars to dance

The flames that stray

will light the way

To our romance

And when I hold you

in my arms

To my heart's delight

Two silhouettes

will drift away

Into the night

Two hearts on fire

Will soon inspire

The stars to dance

The flames that stray

will light the way

To our romance

And when I hold you

In my arms

To my heart's delight

Two silhouettes

Will drift away

Into the night

Will drift away

Into the night

Now, this is a story

of, uh, uh, uh,

uh, "Peter and the Wolf."

As you know, in the musical

score of"Peter and the Wolf,"

each character

is represented...

by a corresponding instrument

in the orchestra.

Peter,

by the string quartet.

[String Quartet]

The bird,

whose name is Sascha,

by a flute, way up high.

[Flute]

Sonia, the duck,

by an oboe, like this.

[Oboe]

And here is Ivan, the cat,

represented by a clarinet...

[High Voice]

In a very low...

[Deep Voice]

Ahem, in a very low register.

[Clarinet]

Grandpapa is an old bassoon.

[Bassoon]

The shooting of the hunters'guns,

by the kettledrums.

[Kettledrums]

And there is also a wolf.

[Dramatic]

[Snarling]

Little does

that wolf know...

what's in store

for him this day.

For our hero, little Peter,

armed to the teeth,

is setting forth

to capture him.

Uh-oh. There seems to have

been a change of plans.

[Bassoon]

For Peter's grandpapa thinks

that little boys like Peter...

should not go out

to hunt the wolf.

This is very embarrassing

for a great hunter.

[String Quartet]

[Bassoon]

- [String Quartet]

- [Whistling]

- [Flute]

- And this is Sascha,

the little bird we told you about.

Excitable little chap,

isn't he?

Forgetful too.

[Flute Continues]

[Holloway As Sascha] "Hello, Petie.

What goes? Where ya goin, huh?

Can I go, Petie?

Can I? Huh?

Oh, boy! A gun!

Loaded too!

Going hunting?

Ohh! That's for me!

Everything's okay, Petie.

Come on. Let's go!"

[String Quartet]

[Flute]

The wolf!

- [Oboe]

- But it isn't the wolf at all.

It's only

Sonia the duck.

[Oboe, Flute]

"Hello, Sonia."

"Hello, Petie."

Now Sonia wants

to join the party.

[Oboe]

Imagination is

a wonderful thing!

[Snarling]

But sometimes it can

run away with you.

[Flute]

"You coward!"

[Clarinet]

Now who's this?

Oh, it can't be...

[Chuckling]

Oh, no. It's Ivan the cat!

Hello, Ivan!

Ivan's a peaceful,

fun-loving sort.

Maybe a little shy

on brains.

You know the type.

Hey! Look out, Sascha!

"Stop it! Stop it!

Stop it! Stop it!"

[Clarinet]

Oh, how can they

ever get any place...

if they're going to

fight among themselves?

"Ivan, you ought

to be ashamed!

You big bully!

You cat-in-the-grass!"

"Come on, Sascha. Ivan's sorry.

He won't do it again."

[Hissing]

[Dramatic]

And so, once more,

our little band of intrepid hunters

sets forth to find the wolf.

- And they find him.

- [Screeching]

[Dramatic]

Sonia! Sonia!

Behind you!

Look out!

W-O-L-F!

[Snarling]

Oh! That wolf

is everywhere!

Peter, do something!

Oh, no. Look, Peter,

why don't ya...

Look, maybe if you could...

Then maybe Peter... Oh, well.

Peter, don't just

stand that way!

And don't stand

that way either!

[Oboe]

Oh, Sonia!

This is no time to relax!

[Snarling]

[Oboe]

[Snarling]

[Dramatic]

[Snarling]

Poor Sonia!

[Oboe]

Well, that's one gone.

Good-bye, Sonia.

[Oboe]

Will this crime

go unavenged?

- [Snarling]

- Not if little Sascha can help it.

[Snarling]

[Flute]

You, you, you beast!

Take this

and this and this!

How do you

like this, eh?

And this, eh?

How about this, eh?

Not so good, eh?

Good work, Sascha!

Uh-oh. Trouble!

Sascha!

Sascha, get up!

Get up!

Get out of there!

[Dramatic]

[Dramatic]

- [Snarling]

- [Flute]

Look out, please,

for overconfidence. Oh!

This is bad.

This is very bad.

[Violins]

Saved!

[Snarling]

[Dramatic]

Just when things

are looking blackest...

Hark!

What's that we hear?

[Cossack Music]

What's this we see?

[Cossack Music]

The hunters!

Mischa, Yascha, and Vladamir!

That's Vladamir

in the middle.

[Kettledrums]

Wait a minute.

I'll show you.

W-O-L-F.

Wolf!

Wolf?

To the rescue!

[Cossack Music]

[Dramatic]

[Whistle]

[Kettledrums]

Oh, Peter, you're safe!

You've captured the wolf!

Oh, happy day!

I think I'll

say that again.

Oh, happy day!

Oh, Peter,

what a hero!

You too, Ivan.

Everybody's happy...

except the wolf!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Sobbing]

But little Sascha

isn't happy.

He's thinking of

his lost playmate,

Sonia.

Sonia.

Sonia?

Sonia!

Oh, then you're not dead!

You're safe!

Oh, Sonia.

This is the most

wonderful, wonderful day!

The wolf is captured!

Peter caught him!

[Piano]

[ClarinetJoins In]

[CelloJoins In]

[Man]

One, two, three.

[Man]

One, two, three.

[UpbeatJazz]

Johnnie Fedora

met Alice Bluebonnet

In the window

of a department store

'Twas love at first sight

And they promised one night

They'd be sweethearts

forevermore

Johnnie would serenade Alice

Too-ra-lay, Too-ra-lie

Too-ra-loo

He sang of

a beautiful palace

Of a beautiful

hatbox for two

ButJohnnie Fedora

lost Alice Bluebonnet

To a patron

of the department store

Her beauty was sought by

The girl she was bought by

For 23.94

Johnnie, oh, Johnnie

Your Alice Bluebonnet

Will always

be waiting for you

So don't give up hoping

And don't give up dreaming

For true love will come

Smiling through

Johnnie Fedora

was lonely and stranded

In the window

of the department store

When lo and behold

He was suddenly sold

And his heart

became gay once more
