Jolson Sings Again Page #5

Synopsis: In this sequel to The Jolson Story, we pick up the singer's career just as he has returned to the stage after a premature retirement. But his wife has left him and the appeal of the spotlight isn't what it used to be. This time Jolson trades in the stage for life in the fast lane: women, horses, travel. It takes the death of Moma Yoelson and World War II to bring Jolson back to earth - and to the stage. Once again teamed with manager Steve Martin, Jolson travels the world entertaining troops everywhere from Alaska to Africa. When he finally collapses from exhaustion it takes young, pretty nurse Ellen Clark to show him there's more to life than "just rushing around".

Now I understand about tonight.

You're just an old fan.

I could've knocked you over

reciting Little Bo Peep.

Yeah, you could.

- Ready to take off, sir.

- Thank you.

Well, here we go.

Look, Colonel,

tell the boys I'll try to get back.

Tell them a lot of big stars

will be along soon, but not to forget me.

They'll never forget

you were one of the early ones.

That is something.

Colonel Bryant, you've been wonderful.

- Hope we meet up someday back home.

- I hope we do.

In fact, if you are ever in Hollywood...

- Hollywood? Movies?

- I produced a few.

That's a funny one.

- I played in a few of them in my time.

- I remember every one of them.

I'm afraid I do, too.

So long, Duluth. Good luck.

So long, Mr. Jolson. Good luck to you.

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover

That I overlooked before

One leaf is sunshine, the second is rain

Third is the roses that grow in the lane

No need explaining, the one remaining

Is someone that I adore

I'm looking over a four-leaf clover

That I overlooked before

When the red, red robin

Comes bob, bob, bobbing along

There'll be no more sobbing

When he starts throbbing

His own sweet song

Oh, wake up, you sleepy head, get up

Get out of bed, cheer up

The sun is red

Live, love, laugh, and be happy

What if I'd been blue?

Now I am walking through fields of flowers

Rain may glisten

but still I listen for hours and hours

I'm just a kid again

Doing what I did again

singing a song

When the red, red robin

Comes bob, bob, bobbing along

When the red, red robin

Comes bobbing along

Give my regards to Broadway

Remember me to Herald Square

Tell all the gang at 42nd Street

That I will soon be there

Whisper of how I'm yearning

To mingle with the old-time throng

Give my regards to old Broadway

and say that I'll be there e'er long

Chinatown, my Chinatown

Where the lights are low

Hearts that know no other land

Drifting to and fro

Dreamy, dreamy Chinatown

Almond eyes of brown

Hearts seem light, and life seems bright

In dreamy, dreamy China

Dreamy, dreamy China

China, Chinatown

I'm just wild about Harry

Harry's wild about me

The heavenly blisses of his kisses

fill me with ecstasy

He's sweet just like chocolate candy

and like honey from the bee

I'm just wild about Harry

Harry's wild about, I can't live without

Harry's wild about me

And like honey from the bee

Say, I'm just wild about Harry

Harry's wild about, I can't live without

Harry's wild about me

Tie everything down.

We are coming in to New York.

Come on, let's wake up.

That's right.

Baby face, you got the cutest little

I'd say he was going to be just fine.

- When did they bring me back?

- Night before last.
