Alka-Seltzer, Speedy Alka-Seltzer.
The Alka-Seltzer Show, transcribed in Hollywood, featuring radio's favorite singing stars,
Kurt Massey and Martha Shilter.
The music of country Washington.
It's Alka-Seltzer time, Alka-Seltzer time.
Morning, noon, and night, it's Alka-Seltzer time.
I'm Kurt.
I'm Martha.
Well, here we go with the Alka-Seltzer Show.
Well, friends, you know tomorrow night's Halloween, so let's get all dressed up, shall we?
Put on a bonnet, a sunbeam bonnet, and paint a bluebird, a bluebird on it.
Start with a bonnet, and in a while you'll be all dressed, all dressed up to smile.
Some silver lining from a cloud that's in distress will make the nicest gown of happiness.
Oh, lady fashion, you'll never trail her.
Just let a sunbeam become your tailor.
You'll leave the fashion always in style, cause you're all dressed, all dressed up to
smile.
Because you're all dressed up to smile.
Well, how about you, Martha?
What's your Halloween costume like, huh?
I'm going to be all dressed up like a song, Kurt.
I'll be wearing a spooky false face and a white sheet and a haunting eye will go.
Can you guess the name of the song?
No, you better sing it, Martha.
I don't suppose I have a ghost of a chance of guessing it right.
I need your love so badly.
I love you oh so madly.
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
I thought at last I had found you.
But other loves surround you.
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
If you'd surrender just for a tender kiss or two.
You might discover that I'm the lover meant for you.
And I'd be true.
But what's the good of scheming?
I know I must be dreaming.
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you.
Here's Fort Pearson at the mic.
He has a word to say, sir.
Heads come to spoil your fun.
Here's how to save the day, sir.
Alka-Seltzer, yes sir.
That's the way to gentle acting, speedy acting relief from a headache.
Just drop one or two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of water.
See it fizz into a bubbling solution.
That means relief is on its way.
And as soon as you drink the refreshing solution, Alka-Seltzer is ready to go to work giving
you the effective pain reliever sodium acetylsalicylate.
In fact, tests prove the system absorbs more of this pain reliever faster from Alka-Seltzer.
That means that speedy Alka-Seltzer, there is no waiting.
It's ready to go to work at once.
Alka-Seltzer soothes your stomach, doesn't upset it, and it relieves a headache fast.
Just ask for Alka-Seltzer at any drug store.
Martha, who are you going to invite to our Halloween party tomorrow?
Well, Kurt, how about that guy with the fiery eyes and the long sharp teeth, Senor Punky
Punkin?
Punky Punkin, the happy punkin, happy all the day.
And his great big smile will scare your cares away.
Punky Punkin's a happy punkin, never wears a frown.
You can see his smile on every face.
He's a little bit of a
clown.
The candlelight inside him makes his eyes light up and gleam.
They shine right through the window at you for a hap hap happy Halloween.
Punky Punkin's a happy punkin, and do you know why?
Because he's a jack-o'-lantern instead of being a punkin pie.
Yes, he's a jack-o'-lantern instead of being a punkin pie.
Kurt, you know a lot of people don't realize that old Dan Cupid gets all dressed up for
Halloween too.
Oh, indeed he does, I should say.
He'll be wearing a tall silk hat and hiding his bow and arrow under a cutaway coat.
Watch out for him, because if you're not careful, you'll fall under the spell of his old black
magic.
That old black magic has me in its spell.
That old black magic that you weave so well, those icy fingers up and down my spine.
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine.
The same old tingle that I feel inside.
And then that elevator starts its ride.
Down and down I go, round and round I go.
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide.
I should stay away, but what can I do?
I hear your name, and I'm aflame.
Aflame with such a burning desire, that only your kiss can put out the fire.
For you're the lover I have waited for.
The maid that fate had me created for.
And every time your lips meet mine.
Darling, down and down I go, round and round I go.
In a spin, loving the spin I'm in.
Under the old black magic call of love.
Friends, here are a few precautions for how
Halloween goes.
Nail down your front gate, bring the garbage pail inside, and you might leave all your
windows open so the little ghosties can't decorate them with soap.
Yeah, and how about locking the broom closet, Martha?
Oh no, that won't be necessary, Kurt.
Haven't you heard?
Ding dong, the witch is dead.
Witch, old witch, the wicked old witch.
Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead.
Martha, did you order the doughnut cake?
I did.
Do you have some nuts for our Halloween party?
Oh sure, dozens of them, Kurt.
What do we serve with them?
Lemonade or hot chocolate?
Oh no, no, no, no.
We've got to be traditional, Martha.
Why half the fun of Halloween is sip inside it through a straw.
We sip there for hours or more.
I sip first and she sip last.
But she sips the most because she sips so fast.
And here's our favorite Halloween song, an original written for us four years ago by
our drummer, Frank Flynn.
Yeah, we hope it reminds you to have plenty of goodies to hand out when those little freckle
faced goblins ring your doorbell tomorrow night.
Good evening.
Trick or treat.
Tonight is the night for trick or treat.
Ring every doorbell on our street.
Tonight is the night for trick or treat.
I've got a costume mask and all.
Well I'll be a goblin eight feet tall.
I'll be a witch on a great big broom.
We'll scare all the folks right out of the room.
You start out cause I'm afraid.
It's the first time I've ever played.
Don't be afraid, he can't just watch me and you'll see how fierce a goblin can be.
First ring the doorbell loud and long that lets them know you're a spook that's strong.
Then when they answer they'll gladly pay.
Lots of cake and candy and you go away.
I've heard that a witch can cast a spell on folks that don't treat her so well.
And if they don't treat me real nice I'll turn them all into little white mice.
When all the ghosts have gone to bed their victims smile and shake their hair.
The spirits sure have changed their ways.
It's just not like the good old days.
Trick or treat.
Tonight is the night for trick or treat.
So be good to all the ghosts you meet.
Tonight is the night for trick.
Or treat.
Here we are in the last weekend of October.
Now don't forget your friend Alka-Seltzer in case you overdo with rich refreshments
and end up with acid indigestion.
Here are two of the ways Alka-Seltzer helps you.
It brings relief with instant alkalizing action as it reduces excess stomach acidity.
And Alka-Seltzer brings relief with gentle effervescent action as its thousands of tiny
bubbles help soothe and settle your stomach.
So for the gentle fast relief you want from acid indigestion remember you want Alka-Seltzer.
Take Alka-Seltzer for that feel better feeling.
Alka-Seltzer, speedy Alka-Seltzer.
May we sing our messy tilt and toast.
Here's to comfort that you bring family friend.
To you we sing Alka-Seltzer.
Martha tell me the truth now.
How are you really going to dress up for the Halloween party?
Well I'll give you a little hint Kurt.
My accessories will be a black hat and a broom.
Oh.
Then all I have to figure out is which witch is Martha.
Well friends we hope you all have a very happy Halloween.
And a happy weekend too.
That's right.
We'll be with you again on Monday and between now and then we hope you and your family are
planning a visit to the church of your choice.
Goodbye now until next week.
Same time, same station.
We'll sing the old song.
We'll sing the new.
We'll sing the bright songs.
And maybe we'll sing the blues on.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday too.
