Our thanks to Buddy Rich for singing
The Nearness of You.
And a great big hello to a
real charmer, Peggy King.
Hi Peg.
Hello, I sure did enjoy that tune,
didn't you?
I sure did, Peg.
Say, how would you like to get aboard one of these newfangled
rocket ships
and take a trip out of this world?
Maybe to the moon.
Well, maybe not the moon.
After all, I've seen the moon real
close up.
You mean through a telescope?
Of course not. Haven't you ever been
up to the top of Mulholland Drive?
Oh, up there, where people can look
down across the San Fernando Valley
and see a million little lights
twinkling merrily away.
Sure.
The moon on high,
the lights below.
And the car radio playing one of Peggy
King's songs?
Say, how about rounding out the picture for
us right now, Peg?
Okay, for all you folks listening
on your car radios
up on Mulholland Drive,
as well as the stay -at -homes,
here's the last time I saw Paris.
