# Happy Holiday #

- Merry Christmas, Bud.

- Thank you. Merry Christmas to you.

Okay. Hi, chief.

Come in.

Hello, honey.

Well, this is our last night

in show business. Some feeling, huh?

- Some feeling.

- I got the ring and the license.

- Honey, we're ready.

- Oh.

Say, there's a hook leftover

at the top here. Should that be?

Never mind that, dear.

I'll take care of it.

- Jim.

- Huh?

Well, I think that tie is terrible.

- Who cares? Tomorrow I'm a farmer.

- You'd better go change it.

Honey, when you flip 'em those twinkle

toes, who's gonna be looking at my tie?

- You only have five minutes. Hurry.

- Okay, I'm on my way.

- What'd he say?

- I didn't tell him.

Why not? We love each other.

You want to continue dancing.

I know, but... he gets a look.

Oh, he's always had that look.

It doesn't mean anything emotionally.

It has to do with his liver.

Tell him you've made a mistake.

You don't want to give up your career

and live on a farm.

But he's already bought the farm

and the license and the ring.

Oh, I can't tell him.

All right. I will.

Right after our number.

Listen, darling, don't weaken.

Think of our life together.

Think of diamonds, of sables,

of your own little penthouse.

Is that a promise?

Well, just think about them

for the time being.

- Ready, Miss Dixon.

- Oh, thank you.

- This thing didn't come out even.

- Oh, I'll fix it.

- We have to hurry.

- I love you.

I love you... and Jim.

I love Jim too. But after all,

I mean, let's not be too chummy.

# Here she comes

Down the street #

# My, oh, my

Ain't she sweet #

# Why, here comes

my hot toddy #

# Over my dead body #

# I'll capture her heart

singing #

# Just wait until she gets

a load of my dancing #

# Just wait 'til I start

singing #

# I'll take her strolling down the road

with my dancing #

# I can't go wrong

A tender song #

# And she'll discover my charms #

# Some fancy taps

and she'll collapse #

# And fall right into my arms #

# I'll capture her heart

singing #

# Oh, no

You haven't a chance #

# When I go into my dance #

# I'll take you

through life singing #

# La-da-da-di, la-da-da-di

La-da-da-di #

# Boom boom

Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boom #

# I'll make you my wife

dancing #

# If you could dance

instead of sing #

# I'd learn to love you somehow #

# If you could sing

instead of dance #

# I'd take you home with me now #

# Boom boo-boo-boo-boom

Boo-boo-boo-boo-boom #

# Boo-boo-boo-boo, bo-ba-bi-bo-bo #

# The way you sing

don't mean a thing #

# You'd better stick

to your dance #

# And as for you

Your dance won't do #

# You'll have to sing for romance #

- # I'll capture her heart #

- # I'll capture her heart #

- # Singing #

- # Dancing #

Not much of a Christmas present

for you, is it?

I mean, both of us

walking out on you.

Don't worry about me, kid.

I'll do all right.

What a chump.

Can't you see what we're walking out on?

The grind, 365 days a year.

- When was the last time you had a day off?

- I don't know. Maybe last year.

Did you ever hear of Thanksgiving

or Labor Day or the Fourth of July?

- Vaguely.

- You know what they are, don't you?

They're holidays, days of rest.

There's lots of 'em.

They mark 'em in red on the calendar

so you can't miss 'em.

What happens in show business

when a holiday comes along?

You give an extra performance.

Not for me, brother. Lila and I are

going up to that farm in Connecticut.

We're gonna live by the calendar.

- Say, Jim.

- Hmm?

Uh, there's something

you should know.

Oh, I know, Ted.

I feel the same way about you.
