The following program is your hit parade, as originally telecast last Saturday by Lucky
Strike.
Lucky Strike presents your hit parade.
The top tunes all over America, as determined by your hit parade survey, which checks the
best sellers in sheet music and phonograph records.
The songs most heard on the air and the songs most played on the automatic coin machine.
An active and authentic tabulation of America's taste in popular music.
Your hit parade.
Friends, if you want a cigarette that just naturally tastes better, take my advice and
go lucky, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
Fine, mild, good tasting tobacco.
And the way that fine tobacco is made into every Lucky is why you get a cleaner, fresher,
smoother tasting smoke.
So come on, be happy, go lucky, and make your next pack.
Lucky Strike.
And now, the Lucky Seven songs of the week, with Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, June
Valley, Russell Arms, the hit parades and dancers, and Raymond Scott and the Lucky Strike
Orchestra.
And off we go with survey song number two.
June Valley, the hit parades and dancers, light up the musical sky with song number two, Don't
Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the moon break your heart.
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, so keep your heart for me, for someday you'll return
and you know you're the only one I'll ever love.
Too many nights, too many nights, too many stars, too many stars, too many moons could
change your mind, too many moons could change your mind.
You've never gone too long, don't forget where you belong, when stars are out, remember you
are mine.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the moon break your heart.
Don't let the moon break your heart.
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, so keep your heart for me, for someday you'll return
and you know you're the only one I'll ever love.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, don't let the moon break your heart.
Don't let the moon break your heart.
Love blooms at night, in daylight it dies.
Don't let the stars get in your eyes, so keep your heart for me, for someday you'll return
and you know you're the only one I'll ever love.
I'll ever love.
Remember you're the one, the one and only one I'll ever love.
Number three.
Snooky Lanson is in a melancholy mood as he brings us survey song number three, Keep It
a Secret.
If you see my darling with somebody new,
keep it a secret, whatever you do.
Why should you tell me and break my poor heart?
Then foolish pride would just drive us apart.
If you see my darling in some rendezvous,
painting the town with a boy she once knew,
pay no attention, just let it be,
only keep it a secret from me.
Only keep it a secret from me.
Time for a lucky strike extra.
The hit parade dancers featuring Lenny Claret and Raymond Scott's arrangement of an American
classic, Casey Jones.
Come you rounders if you wanna hear the story of the brave engineer.
Casey Jones was the founder's name.
On a big locomotive he won his fame.
The caller called Casey at a half past four.
He kissed his wife at the station door.
He mounted to the cabin, his orders in his hand,
and he took his farewell trip to the promised land.
Casey Jones mounted to the cabin, Casey Jones with his orders in his hand.
Casey Jones mounted to the cabin, and he took his farewell trip to the promised land.
He looked at his water, his water was low.
He looked at his watch, his watch was slow.
He turned to the barman, and this he said,
Boy, we're gonna reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead.
Gonna reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead.
Gonna reach Frisco, we're gonna reach Frisco, but we'll all be dead.
When he was within a mile of the place,
Number Four stared him right in the face.
He said to the barman, Jim, you better jump.
Two locomotives are a-goin' to bump.
Two locomotives, that's a-goin' to bump.
Two locomotives, there's a two locomotives that's a-goin' to bump.
Mrs. Jones said, children, don't you cry.
We'll all be together by and by.
Something tells me less, I miss my guess,
That Janette drives a heavenly express.
Casey Jones sittin' up in heaven.
Casey Jones feelin' mighty great.
Casey Jones sittin' up in heaven.
Cause he took his fair route trip to the promised land.

Song number seven. Here's Dorothy Collins
with a playful ditty that makes its 13th appearance on the survey.
Glow Worm.

Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Lead us less too far we wander.
Love's sweet voices callin' yonder.
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Shine little glow worm, glimmer, glimmer.
Light the path below, above, and lead us on to love.
♪
Glow little glow worm, fly on fire glow.

This night could use a little brightnin'.
Light up your little old fog of lightnin'.

Glow little glow worm, glow.
♪
Glow little glow worm, turn the key on.
You are equipped with taillight neon.
You've got a cute vest pocket Mazda.
Which you can make both slow or fasta.
I don't know who you took a shine to.
Or who you're out to make a sign to.
I've got a guy.
And I got a gal.

So glow little glow worm, glow.

Say Ed.
Have you ever seen that Lucky Strike demonstration on television?
Yeah.
Well come here, I want to show you something.
Have you ever done it yourself?
No.
Okay, then let's start from scratch.
They say to use a new pack.
Here's a pack of Luckys I just opened.
Well, take one.
Turn it around until you find the seam in the back.
See there?
Now, carefully tear the paper down the seam.
Easy does it.
You don't want to dig into that tobacco.
That's it.
There.
You see?
A perfect cylinder of tobacco just like on TV.
Alright, so it works.
So what?
Here's what.
Because Luckys are made better, they taste better.
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.
You can see here why Luckys taste cleaner.
Every Lucky is a perfect cylinder of fine, mild tobacco.
Notice there are no loose ends to get in your mouth and spoil the taste.
And now under Joe's microscope, you'll see why Luckys taste fresher.
It's because Luckys are made round, firm, and fully packed to smoke smoothly and evenly.
And here's why Luckys taste smoother.
See those long strands of Luckys fresh, mild, good-tasting tobacco.
You can tell by the rich aroma that Luckys strike means fine tobacco.
Tobacco that's bound to give you a smooth, mild taste, puff after puff, pack after pack.
By golly, it does add up, doesn't it?
Yes, better taste means better smoking.
And Luckys taste better.
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.
So enjoy the better taste of Luckys fine tobacco in a better-made cigarette.
Be happy, go Lucky.
Make your next carton Lucky Strike.

Lady of Spain.

♪ Lady of Spain, I adore you.
Right from the night I first saw you.
My heart has been yearning for you.
What more could any heart do?
Lady of Spain, I'm appealing.
Why should my lips be concealing?

Lady of Spain, I love you.

Because You're Mine.

♪ Because you're mine, the brightest star I see looks down my love and envies me.
Because you're mine, because you're mine.
Because you're mine, the breeze that hurries by becomes a melody.
And why?
Because you're mine, because you're mine.
I only know for as long as I may live.
I'll only live for the kiss that you alone may give me.
And when we kiss, that isn't thunder, dear.
It's only my poor heart you hear.
And it's applause because you're mine.

Number five.
June Valley and the Hit Paraders create a nostalgic scene of yesterday
with the tune of survey song number five, Till I Waltz Again With You.
♪♪
Till I waltz again with you, let no other hold your charms.
If my dreams could all come true, you'll be waiting for my arms.
Till I kiss you once again, keep my love locked in your heart.
Darling, you'll return and then we will never have to part.
Though it may break your heart and mine, admit it when it's time to go.
Remember, dear, these words divine that meant I love you so.
Till I waltz again with you, just the way we did tonight,
I will keep my promise true, for you are my guiding light.

Time for another lucky strike extra!
Dorothy Collins, the hit forators and dancers,
and one of Irving Berlin's most beloved melodies,
Cheek to Cheek.
🎵
Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seek to find the happiness I seek,
when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
Heaven, I'm in heaven, and the cares that hung around me through the weeks
seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak,
when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak,
but it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.
And I love to go out fishing in a river or a creek,
but I don't enjoy it half as much as dancing cheek to cheek.
Dance with me, I want my arms about you.
The charm about you will carry me through to
Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seek to find the happiness I seek,
when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.
🎵
Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seek to find the happiness I seek,
when we're out together dancing, I just love dancing,
right in public we're romancing, I love romancing,
when we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Friends, it's true you know.
Luckies are made better to taste better.
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.
And you remember that the next time you buy a cigarette.
It's awfully important because golly, in a cigarette,
it's the taste that makes the difference.
And luckies do taste cleaner, fresher, smoother.
So come on, be happy, go lucky, make your next carton, lucky strike.
