The following program is your hit parade as originally telecast Saturday, November 12th,
1955.
Lucky Strike, the cigarette that tastes better, cleaner, fresher, smoother, in co-sponsorship
with Richard Hudnut, makers of Quick, the new home permanent with a 10-minute waving
lotion presents your hit parade.
Be happy, go lucky, be happy, go Lucky Strike, be happy, go lucky, go Lucky Strike today.
Tonight 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 machines, an accurate authentic tabulation
of America's taste in popular music, your hit parade.
Light up for Lucky, it's light up time.
Be happy, go lucky, it's light up time.
For the taste that you like, light up for Lucky Strike.
Relax, it's light up time.
You know friends, a Lucky tastes better every time.
They're cleaner, fresher, smoother.
Try them.
You'll say Luckies are the best tasting cigarettes you ever smoked.
And now the top seven songs of the week with Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, Giselle McKenzie,
Russell Arms, the Hit Paraders and Dancers, and Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra.
And off we go with survey song number three.
Snooky Lanson, the Hit Paraders and Dancers, raise the curtain with the number three melody,
The Yellow Rose of Texas.
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am going to see.
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me.
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart.
If I ever find her, we never more will part.
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your clementine and sing of Rosalie, but the yellow rose of Texas is
the only girl for me.
Now I know I'm going to find her, for my heart is full of woe.
We'll do the things together we did so long ago.
We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before.
And the yellow rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore.
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew.
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew.
You may talk about your clementine and sing of Rosalie, but the yellow rose of Texas is
the only girl for me.
Number four, Dorothy Collins sings the musical message of cheer the survey finds in fourth
place tonight, Suddenly There's a Valley.
When you climb the highest mountain, when a cloud holds the sunshine in, suddenly there's
a valley where the earth knows peace with man.
When a storm hides a distant rainbow, and you think you can't find a friend, suddenly
there's a valley where friendships never end.
Suddenly by the caesars, swept clean by the waving grain, surveyed by a happy bluebird,
and kissed by the falling rain, when you think there's no bright tomorrow, and you feel you
can't try again, suddenly there's a valley where hope and love begin.
Suddenly there's a valley where hope and love begin.
Time for a lucky strike extra.

Number two on the survey.
Here's Giselle McKenzie to sing the glamorous melody
that's in second place,
Love is a Many Splendored Thing.
♪
♪ Love is a many splendored thing.
It's the April rose that only grows in the early spring.
Love is nature's way of giving,
the reason to be living.
A golden crown that makes a man a king.
Once on a high and windy hill,
in the morning mist,
two lovers kissed,
and the world stood still.
Then your fingers touched my silent heart,
and taught it how to sing.
True love's a many splendored thing.
Yes, true love's a many splendored thing.

Man, that's smoking enjoyment.
To come out of a good movie and light up a lucky.
Boy, that's good.
Especially when it's a lucky.
Because luckies taste better.
And for good reasons.
First, lucky strike means fine tobacco.
And then this fine, good tasting tobacco is toasted
to taste even better.
Cleaner, fresher, smoother.
That's why when the show lets out,
so many folks light up a lucky strike.

Love and Marriage.
♪
Love and marriage, love and marriage.
Go together like a horse and carriage.
This I tell you brother.
You can't have one without the other.
Love and marriage, love and marriage.
It's an institute you can't disparage.
Ask the local gentry.
And they will say it's elementary.
Try, try, try to separate them.
It's an illusion.
Try, try, try and you will only come to this conclusion.
Love and marriage, love and marriage.
Go together like a horse and carriage.
Dad was told by mother you can't have one.
You can't have none.

Song number seven.
Snooky Lanson sings another newcomer on the survey.
The shifting whispering sands.
Listen to the age old story of the shifting whispering sands.
Yes, it always whispers to me of the days of long ago
when the settlers and the miners fought the crafty Navajo.
How the cattle roamed the valley.
Happy people worked the land.
And now everything is covered by the shifting whispering sands.
How the miner left his buck thorns,
went to work his claims that day.
And the burrows broke their halter.
They thought he'd gone to stay.
How they found the ancient miner lying dead upon the sand.
After months they could but wonder if he died by human hands.
So they dug his grave and laid him on his back and crossed his hands.
And his secret still is hidden by the shifting whispering sands.
The shifting whispering sands.

Survey song number five.
Giselle McKenzie makes a tasty dish as she sings the number five melody,
Moments to Remember.
January to December, we'll have moments to remember.
New Jersey, we did the town.
The day we tore the coal post down.
We will have these moments to remember.
The quiet walks, the noisy fun.
The ballroom prize we almost won.
We will have these moments to remember.
When summer turns to winter and the present disappears.
The laughter we were glad to shout will echo through the years.
And other nights and other days may find us gone on separate ways.
We will have these moments to remember.
Ah, ah, ah.
We will have these moments to remember.
January to December.

Time for another Lucky Strike extra.
It's Russell Arms, the hit parades and dancers in a lively serenade
to the tune of A Romantic Guy I.
♪
A romantic guy I, pale and frantic guy I am.
So high in the sky that each passerby must know that love is the reason why.
A romantic guy I, your romantic eye my way,

And here is a word from our co-sponsor Richard Hudnut
as we go backstage at your hit parade with Julia Meade.
Hello.
Tonight I have news you've wanted to hear for a long time.
Now there's a home permanent that looks and lasts much more like naturally curly hair.
It's new improved quick by Richard Hudnut.
The only home permanent with an exclusive Richard Hudnut penetrating ingredient
that prevents weak surface waves.
Now this is what can happen with an ordinary home permanent.
See how weak and limp the wave is?
It's just on the surface.
And here's a new improved quick curl.
The penetrating ingredient has gone into every hair and waved it gently, evenly, and lastingly.
You'll have a soft wave that's much more like naturally curly hair.
And lasts at least six months.
And new double analyzed quick is still the quickest.
Just one hour from start to setting.
You've always wanted a wave that's much more like naturally curly hair.
Well quick with a new penetrating ingredient is it.
And only famous Richard Hudnut makes it.
So get it quick.
Won't you?
