Thank Your Lucky Stars Page #6

I've been back and forth

He lives on Nova Scotia salmon

You'll find me

Where there is no cotton pickin'

Never again to fry a chicken

Way up North

- Stop, the North is my favorite direction

- Stop, the North is my favorite direction

- Pointin' to the Arctic Sea

- Pointin' to the Arctic Sea

Pardon me, boy,

Is this the road to Mandalay?

Well, you can go to Mandalay but not me

Because we're headin'

- North

- Is that your attitude?

I've been back and forth

In every latitude?

We are the only act in vaudeville

That never will be content

Until we're way up

- Mush

- Hey

- Way up

- Way up

We're not from Dixie

- Way up

- Way up

- We are from hunger

- We are from hunger

- Way up North

- Way up North

Yes, sir. Anyway, colonel,

thanks to perseverance and clean living...

...by the time I was 2 years old,

I made money to retire.

So I kept right on working.

When I was 3, I entered school,

but at the end of the first term, I quit...

...and opened up a school of my own.

Some months later, I was married

and everybody congratulated my wife-

I was the catch of the season-

- Hello.

- How are you?

Congratulations, Charlie. I'm glad

somebody in Gower Gulch got a job.

Yeah, that's swell.

Just heard about it, fellows.

Don't let these Cherokee union suits

fool you.

We got all dolled up to take publicity

pictures with Edward G. Robinson.

We made him an honorary chief.

It's a newspaper plug

for Cavalcade of Stars-

That's that benefit Saturday night,

isn't it?

Yeah. I've got to get out of these things.

My girdle is killing me.

The Cavalcade of Stars-

Boy, that's really gonna be a show.

Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan,

Humphrey Bogart.

What a benefit. Every big shot's there.

I'm my best

in front of a professional audience.

If I had a chance to sing for a crowd

like that, I bet I'd get a dozen contracts.

You want an aspirin? What's the matter?

- I've got an idea. Why don't you do it?

- What don't I what?

Go to the theater

and tell them to put you on Saturday.

Pat, you forget one little item.

You know I have a great voice, so do I.

They don't.

Let me give you a tip.

In show business, you've got to have poise.

Be professional. Be aggressive.

Be egotistical. You understand?

With my personality,

I couldn't get through that stage door.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.

Joe, can you get him in?

After all, Davis and I are pals.

Bette Davis, the actress?

No. Max Davis, the doorman.

- Come on, then. What are we waiting for?

- Wait a minute. I'm not so sure.

Yeah, but it's worth a try.

If it works, it'll be a break for you.

Oh, and for "Moondust" too.

- Yeah, "Moondust. "

- Yeah, "Moondust. "

- Well, let's go.

- Let's go.

She said, "Let's go. "

This ought to make great reading-

Inspirational stuff- Now, to continue-

By that time,

I had five lovely daughters, all girls.

That's the year I made

Whoopie for Ziegfeld.

Am I boring you, colonel?

Yes, indeed.

Oh, certainly not, Mr. Cantor.

No, of course not.

It's most interesting. Pray, continue, sir.

- Mr. Farnsworth.

- What do you want?

- Have you got time for Ann Sheridan?

- Have I got time for A...?

The question is,

has Ann Sheridan got time for me?

Have we got time to rehearse

her number?

Oh, the number? Yes. Go ahead with it.

Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead with Ann Sheridan.

Come on, boys, boys, boys.

"And so, young ladies, feminine charm

and dignity must be preserved.

Let man pursue, let woman elude. "

It is always thus that love is born.

Here is a book, enormous,

on how to conduct our lives.

Everything will come to her who waits

But how long must a lady wait for dates?

Somebody please inform us

Exactly how love arrives

You've got to join in the chase yourself

Now, here's my story, so brace yourself

Love isn't born on a beautiful April morn

Love isn't born, it's made

And that's why every window

Has a window shade

Love can't do much

For a couple who don't quite touch

Love needs a chance to advance

And that's why folks who never cared

For dancin', dance

So, my precious young dove

If you're waitin' for love

Better make the most of your charms

For the feelin' won't start

In the gentleman's heart

Till you're in the gentleman's arms

Love isn't born

That's a fable to treat with scorn

Let's call a spade a spade

When he says

"Dear, come up and see my antique jade"

Remember, love isn't born

It's made

How true, how true, how very, very true

It's all a game

How wise, how wise, how very, very wise

To fan the flame

That old Prince Charming story

Was a fake

The Sleeping Beauty

Must have been awake

You've got us all believing in you

Continue, please continue

Love has to climb

It can't suddenly ring that chime

Climb, sister, time is short

Sister, won't you be a sport?

You'll find there's no partition

In a davenport

No partition, no partition in a davenport

Love doesn't act

Till the cards are discretely stacked

Here is a fact to face

Yes, you gotta face the fact

A man won't take a taxi

Just to get no place

How they hate a taxi gettin' no place

So, my precious young dove

If you're dreamin' of love

Better lead him into the trap

For you'll never remain

On the gentleman's brain

Till you're on the gentleman's lap

- Love won't exist

- Oh, no

If you constantly slap that wrist

You do and you'll be

Right off his list, you'll fade

Yes, you gotta be careful

So don't keep cryin' wolf

At every gay young blade

And when you walk alone and forlorn

And then you hear a Cadillac horn

Remember, love isn't born

It's made

- Uh-oh. Max Davis.

- What about him?

- That's not him.

- Huh?

Well, let's go home and wash the bus.

- No, wait. Let's wash this up first.

- That's right.

When Tommy Randolph says he's gonna

get in someplace, nobody keeps him out.

Now you're talking. That's what I call

taking the bull by the horns.

Yeah, but look at that bull.

Hello.

- Where are you going?

- There. I gotta see a man about a job.

You must have skipped reading

when you went to school.

Why, nobody gets in there.

Now, blow, will you? Blow.

If Tommy wants to get in,

nobody keeps him out.

Nobody except the doorman.

Uh-oh. What now? Another idea?

And what an idea. Come on, Joe.

Now wait, you don't understand.

I understand my orders.

Nobody goes in there

without a written pass.

Now, blow, kiddie.

You can't do it. You can't break my heart

and toss me aside like a flower.

- You can't do it, Harry.

- But... But... But Harry.

Oh, don't hit me again. Please don't.

All I ask is bread

for our three little babies.

Oh, please, Harry. Don't twist my arm.

You've got me mixed up

with somebody else. It's Joe.

You beast.

How can you let your children starve...

...while you buy champagne

for that hussy?

- Can I be of assistance?

- How dare you interfere in a conversation.

Will you mind your business?

Champagne?

- I was only...

- Keep your mouth out of this.

- If we need your help, we'll ask for it.
