State Fair Page #4

---

And she'll win the

sweepstakes sure.

Now you look like something.

I don't mind telling you, though,

you had me worried, son,

but I knew you'd come through.

Now you look like a real champion.

- Oh! Excuse me.

- Oh!

Why don't you look where you're goin'?

Gawking around like that,

people'll think you've never

been to a fair before.

I just thought we might meet

somebody we know.

- So what?

- Well, why are you looking around?

Who are you looking for?

I sort of had a half date, with

a guy I met here last year.

- Why don't you keep it?

- What would I do with you?

- Well, look, Wayne...

- I beg your pardon, sir.

- May I trouble you for a match?

- Sure.

- I think I have some right here.

- That's very kind of you.

Okay.

- Here you are. Thanks.

- Why don't you keep them?

- My brother has another pack.

- Sure, sure. Go ahead.

- That's okay.

- Thank you very much.

- You're certainly big with my matches.

- What do you care?

Your pockets are always

full of them.

Look, Wayne, if you really wanna keep your

date with that friend, I wouldn't mind.

- You wouldn't?

- No.

I hardly slept a wink

in that old truck last night.

What I really wanted to do

tonight was to go to bed early

but I didn't wanna disappoint you.

Oh, don't worry about me.

Uh, maybe you'd better.

You do look a little tired.

- And I can get back all right.

- Ah, that's swell, sis.

Thanks. I mean, get

a good rest now.

I will.

Hello.

Take home a beautiful

pennant from the state fair.

Come right over. Help yourself.

Oh, pardon me. I'm looking for

the chief of police's daughter.

- Have you seen her around here anyplace?

- His daughter?

I don't believe I know her.

There's the chief over there.

Why don't you ask him?

Okay. Thank you.

- Good evening, Chief.

- Good evening, son. What can I do for you?

Could you tell me where

your daughter is?

I sort of had a date

to meet her here tonight.

- What?

- Well, it wasn't exactly a date.

She said... I mean, I told her...

Well, let's see.

She's around here somewhere.

Oh, Violet?

Yes, Daddy?

This young gentleman tells me you two

have a date to go out stepping tonight.

Huh?

Well, I guess I must

mean her sister.

I haven't got a sister.

Looks like someone's been

pulling your leg, my boy.

Yeah. That's a pretty good

joke on me, all right.

Well, thanks.

How many, please?

- Huh?

- How many tickets?

Oh. One.

And now for your favorite,

the lovely Emily Edwards,

and That's For Me.

Right

Between the eyes

Quite a belt

That blow I felt this morning

Fate

Gave me no warning

Great

Was my surprise

I saw you standing in the sun

And you were something to see

I know what I like

and I liked what I saw

And I said to myself that's for me

A lovely morning I remarked

And you were quick to agree

You wanted to walk

and I nodded my head

As I breathlessly said

That's for me

I left you standing under stars

The day's adventures are through

There's nothing for me

but the dream in my heart

And the dream in my heart

That's for you

Oh, my darling

That's for you

- There you are.

- Thank you.

- Who's that singing?

- That's Emily Edwards.

She's kind of cute,

but she's not my type.

She's a redhead.

Now, with brown hair,

that's different.

- Hello, Pat.

- Hi, Pat.

- Hi, girls.

- How are you doin', honey?

- Quiet, you.

- I guess you know a lot of girls, don't you?

Well, in my racket, you know...

For you

- I, uh, just spoke to your father.

- My who?

Your father. You know,

the chief of police.

Oh, that. Didn't you know

I was kidding?

Well, I do now.

And just for that, you're gonna

have to have a drink with me.

When I first saw you up there,

I couldn't believe you were the same girl.

Why not? Was I that bad?

I didn't mean it that way.

You were good, wonderful.

That's just it. A girl singer like

you with Tommy Thomas's band,

I couldn't figure out why you went

to all that trouble today just for me.

- Why shouldn't I? What's wrong with you?

- Oh, nothing wrong with me.

I mean, well, maybe there is,

but don't tell me.

- Like to dance?

- Uh-huh. Do you?

Sure. That's why

I brought it up. Sure.

- We can get our drinks later.

- All right.

The big feature ride of the fair.

Get your tickets for the next ride.

This is the highest, fastest,

safest ride at the fairgrounds.

Get tickets now

for the big, fast ride.

- Come on. I dare you.

- I'm game.

- How many?

- Two, please.

- What you thinking about?

- Why?

Oh, you sort of had

a funny smile on your face.

- You really want to know?

- Uh-huh.

Well, I was just thinking about

you practicing all that time

with your mother's embroidery hoops

just to get even with somebody.

I guess you think I'm kind

of screwy, don't you?

No, I don't. I don't at all.

As a matter of fact,

I like that kind of a fellow.

That's lucky for me, because

I like the kind of a girl

who likes that kind of fellow.

It's a grand night for singing

The moon is flying high

And somewhere a bird

who is bound he'll be heard

ls throwing his heart at the sky

It's a grand night for singing

The stars are bright above

The earth is aglow

and to add to the show

I think I am falling in love

Falling

Falling in love

It's a grand night for singing

The stars are bright above

The earth is aglow

and to add to the show

I think I am falling in love

Falling

Falling in love

Maybe it's more than the moon

Maybe it's more than the birds

Maybe it's more

than the sight of the night

In a light too lovely for words

Maybe it's more than the earth

Shiny in silvery blue

Maybe the reason

I'm feeling this way

Has something to do with you

Say, you're pretty good in that

voice department yourself.

I'm an old glee club boy.

The moon is flying high

- Ow!

There's nothing for me

but the dream in my heart

And the dream in my heart that's

For you

Oh, my darling

That's

For you

Hey, cut that out!

I'll get you for that. You wait

and see now. You just wait.

You two sound like you had

a wonderful time last night.

- Sure did.

- Mmm, terrific.

Wish your father was enjoying himself

instead of brooding over that old pig.
