They seem to think that profit sharing

means taking bows on an empty stomach.

So that's why

you're not open tonight.

Well, I'm also particular about

the kind of talent I'm going to use.

- Fifteen holidays a year.

- Mm-hmm.

- You're a lazy fellow.

- No, not especially.

Just have my own ideas about living.

My father was like you.

Just a man with a family.

Never amounted to much,

didn't care.

But as long as he was alive, we always had

plenty to eat and clothes to keep us warm.

- Were you happy?

- Yes.

Then your father was a very

successful man. Hope I can do as well.

I came out here for a job.

Could you use me?

I might find a spot for you.

What can you do?

Oh, I sing a little and dance.

Couldn't guarantee any salary at first.

Right now I've got the ledger

in an iron lung.

- I don't care if you pay off in eggs. Just give me a chance.

- Let's see what you can do.

- Thanks a lot.

- I've written special music for each holiday.

This gives me a chance to keep

a little promise I made to myself.

I said I was going to sing

this song at the Inn tonight.

I said I was going to sing

this song at the Inn tonight.

# I'm dreaming #

# Of a white Christmas #

# Just like the ones #

# I used to know #

# Where the treetops glisten #

# And children listen #

# To hear #

# Sleigh bells in the snow #

# I'm dreaming #

# Of a white Christmas #

# With every Christmas card #

# I write #

# May your days #

# Be merry and bright #

# And may all your #

# Christmases #

# Be white #

# I'm dreaming #

# Of a white Christmas #

# Just like the ones

I used to know #

Where the treetops glisten.

# Where the treetops glisten #

- And children listen.

- # And children listen #

- # To hear #

- # To hear #

# Sleigh bells in the snow #

# I'm dreaming #

# Of a white Christmas #

# With every Christmas card #

# I write #

# May your days be merry #

# And bright #

# And may all #

# Your Christmases #

# Be white #

# Happy holidays #

# Happy holidays #

# While the merry bells

keep ringing #

# May your every wish come true #

# Happy holidays #

# Happy holidays #

# May the calendar

keep bringing #

# Happy holidays to you #

# If you're burdened down

with trouble #

# If your nerves

are wearing thin #

# Park your load down the road #

# And come to Holiday Inn #

# If the traffic noise

affects you #

# Like a squeaky violin #

# Kick your cares down the stairs #

# And come to Holiday Inn #

# If you can't find

somebody who #

# Will set your heart awhirl #

# Get in your car and motor to #

# The home of Boy Meets Girl #

# If you're laid up

with a breakdown #

# Throw away your vitamin #

- # Don't get worse #

- # Grab your nurse #

Claude Binyon

Claude Binyon (October 17, 1905 Chicago, Illinois – February 14, 1978 Glendale, California) was a screenwriter and director. His genres were comedy, musicals, and romances. As a Chicago-based journalist for the Examiner newspaper, he became city editor of the show business trade magazine Variety in the late 1920s. According to Robert Landry, who worked at Variety for 50 years including as managing editor, Binyon came up with the famous 1929 stock market crash headline, "Wall Street Lays An Egg." (However, writer Ken Bloom ascribes the headline to Variety publisher Sime Silverman.)He switched from writing about movies for Variety to screenwriting for the Paramount Studio with 1932's If I Had A Million; his later screenwriting credits included The Gilded Lily (1935), Sing You Sinners (1938), and Arizona (1940). Throughout the 1930s, Binyon's screenplays were often directed by Wesley Ruggles, including the "classic" True Confession (1938). Fourteen feature films by Ruggles had screenplays by Binyon. Claude Binyon was also the scriptwriter for the second series of the Bing Crosby Entertains radio show (1934-1935). In 1948, Binyon made his directorial bow with The Saxon Charm (1948), for which he also wrote the screenplay. He went on to write and direct the low-key comedy noir Stella (1950), Mother Didn't Tell Me (1950), Aaron Slick of Pun'kin Crick (1952), and the Clifton Webb farce Dreamboat (1952). He directed, but didn't write, Family Honeymoon (1949) as well as Bob Hope's sole venture into 3-D, Here Come the Girls (1953). After his death on February 14, 1978, he was buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. more…
