That's Entertainment, Part II Page #3

---

Don't dish the dirt

With the rest of the girls

That's why the lady is a tramp

I like the free, fresh wind in my hair

Life without care

I'm broke, that's oke

Hate California, it's cold and it's damp

That's why the lady

is a tramp

They asked me how I knew

My true love was true

Jerome Kern wrote some of

the loveliest melodies I've ever heard.

And none lovelier than this one,

sung by Kathryn Grayson...

and danced by

Marge and Gower Champion.

Something here inside

Cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find

All who love are blind

When your heart's on fire

You must realize

Smoke gets in your eyes

I could hardly wait to keep our date

This lovely Easter morning

Someone once asked Jerome Kern...

where in American music

he would place Irving Berlin.

Mr. Kern replied,

"Irving Berlin is American music."

For

In your Easter bonnet

with all the frills upon it

You'll be the grandest fella

in the Easter parade

I'll be all in clover

and when they look us over

We'll be the proudest couple

in the Easter parade

On the avenue

Fifth A venue

The photographers will snap us

And you'll find

that you're in the rotogravure

Oh, I could write a sonnet

about your Easter bonnet

And of the guy I'm taking

to the Easter parade

On the avenue

Fifth A venue

The photographers will snap us

And you'll find

that you're in the rotogravure

I could write a sonnet

about your Easter bonnet

And of the girl I'm taking

to the Easter parade

Anything that happens in life

can happen on the screen

Fantasies appear

Colorful and queer

Watch me

You'll see just what I mean

First

Take the red from the scene

After that

Please remove all the green

Then the yellow and blue,

make them disappear, too

What's left?

Black and white

But that's quite all right

It's entertainment

You came

I was alone

Here's Bing Crosby...

starting us off in some numbers

filmed in glorious black and white.

The siren he's singing to is Fifi D'Orsay.

The film is Going Hollywood.

Born to be kissed

I can't resist

You are temptation

and I am yours

Here is my heart

Take it and say

we'll never part

I'm just a slave

Only a slave

to you

Temptation

Dear, when you smiled at me

I heard a melody

It haunted me from the start

Judy Garland told me

that this is the song she sang...

for her audition at MGM.

By the way, she got the job.

Zing! Went the strings of my heart!

I still recall the thrill

I guess I always will

I hope 'twill never depart

I knew I loved you heaps

and you were mine for keeps

Zing! Went the strings

of my heart!

The wonderful Ethel Waters

in Cabin in the Sky.

And that's Rochester on guitar.
