Not me, uh-ha-ha

I can't carry a tune in a tub

Well, thanks for trying.

Every country yokel can be vocal

Lady, that's a lie.

Well, come out, come out,

come out And give it a try

- Now who's gonna sing for me?

He is.

- You are?

- Sure.

Oh, by the way, you know Glenn Russell,

a famous playwright.

He wrote the play we're producing,

Godspeed?

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

The one you wrote on that typewriter.

- Uh-huh.

- Hello again.

- Hello.

- And you're gonna sing for us?

Yes, do you know the verse?

No, I don't,

but I'll have Bob play it for you.

- Take it from the verse.

- Glenn, do you sing as well as you write?

- About the same.

- Oh, that's fine, wonderful, nice.

Columbus had more chance than me

When he set sail to cross the sea

At least, he thought he knew

What he was doing

And I'm in search of something too

Exactly what, I wish I knew

Yes, I pursue

But who am I pursuing?

Chances are that I won't find a bride

But it won't be

Because I haven't tried

Come out

Come out wherever you are

I know

I know you're not very far

How I wish you'd hurry

'Cause I'm inclined to worry

These arms of mine are open

Hopin' you'll appear

Where are you, dear?

Come out, come out wherever you are

Come out

Come out from under that star

Yes, and incident'lly, ment'lly

I'm not up to par

So, come out, come out, come out

Wherever you are

You were wonderful.

Wow, did you hear that?

- I don't know.

- Think he's got something?

Got something? That guy's

the greatest discovery of my career.

Did you see those women?

The expressions on their faces?

If that guy was the Pied Piper of Hamelin,

there wouldn't be a dame left in town.

It was very sweet of you

to help me out, Mr. Russell.

I didn't know I was going that far,

but I enjoyed doing it for you.

Thank you.

Where did you learn to sing like that?

I didn't learn. I just sang, I guess.

Maybe I shouldn't have taken lessons.

How can you put him in a musical

when he thinks you're doing his drama?

He said he'd put anybody in jail

if they stole $5 from him.

- He did?

- Yeah, even if it takes him his life.

- He said that?

- Uh-huh.

Can you imagine being put in a jail

by a guy from Oswego?

It's just a matter of psychology.

Every man has his weakness, you know.

And I think I know his.

Chris, when you put that microphone in

that Russell kid's hand, you struck gold.

You opened the gates

to a million dollars.

- He's a nice kid.

- A nice kid?

Charm, personality, that voice.

Ho-ho. Should've seen the women

when he started singing.

- You should've seen yourself.

- I know.

One thing worries me,

he's rotten with ethics.

- He's a serious-minded boy.
