YOUR HIT PARADE

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. 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 a Lucky, it's light up time. Be happy, go lucky, it's light up time. For the taste that you like, light up a 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 Lucky's are the best-tasting cigarette you ever smoked. And now, the top seven songs of the week with Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, Gisele MacKenzie, Russell Arms, the Hit Paraders and Dancers, and Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra. And off we go with survey song number seven. It's a musical moment in Toyland as Russell Arms, the Hit Paraders and Dancers, introduce a newcomer to the survey, Dungaree Doll. Dungaree Doll, Dungaree Doll, paint your initials on my jeans so everyone in town will know we go around together, together, together. Dungaree Doll, Dungaree Doll, paste your picture on my sleeve so everyone will see that you belong to me forever, forever, forever. I want you to wear my orange sweater, beat-up sweater with a high school letter. Going to make a chain of paper clips, chain us together while I kiss your lips. Dungaree Doll, Dungaree Doll, promise me you never will fall for any other guy. Tell me that you're my Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree Doll.

Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree, Dungaree Doll. Number three. Dorothy Collins sings a dramatic version of the song the survey finds in third place this week, The Great Pretender. Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender, pretending that I'm doing well. My need is such, I pretend too much and lonely, but no one can tell. Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender, adrift in a world of my own. I play the game, but to my real shame, you left me to dream all alone. Real is this feeling of make-believe, too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal. Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown. I seem to be what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown. Pretending that you're still around. Time for a Lucky Strike extra. Snooky Lanson and the Hit Parade Dancers bring us an all-time favorite, Lady Be Good. Oh, sweet and lovely, Lady Be Good. Oh, Lady Be Good to me. I am so awfully misunderstood, so Lady Be Good to me. Oh, please have some pity. I'm so alone in this big city. I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the woods. Oh, Lady Be Good to me. Oh, please have some pity. I'm so alone in this big city. I tell you I'm just a lonesome babe in the woods. Oh, Lady Be Good. Lady Be Good to me, be good to me. Lady, do what you should to me. Lady Be Good, Lady Be Good, Lady Be Good to me. Survey song number four. Gisele MacKenzie finds the past in your hand as she sings the number four melody, Memories Are Made of This. The sweet, sweet memories you gave to me. You can't beat the memories you gave to me. Take one sweet and tender kiss. The memories you gave me. Once upon a time, a little flame can be for the memories you gave for me. I want a world, but not the world. It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me of the sweet, sweet memories are made of this. The memories you gave for me. Don't forget a small moonbeam. The memories you gave for me. Hold in life with a dream. Your lips and mine through happy days when you came my way to tell me of the sweet, sweet memories are made of this. You can't be for the memories you gave for me. Then I hear the wedding bells. One house where lovers dwell. Three little kids want the flavor. Stir gently through the day. See how the flavors stay. These are the things you will savor. With his molasses from above. The memories you gave for me. The serve it generously with love. The memories you gave for me. I want a man, but not the world. It was a happy day when you came my way to tell me of the sweet, sweet memories are made of this. You can't be for the memories you gave for me. Memories are made of this. Light up a Lucky. It's light up time. Be happy go Lucky. It's light up time. For the taste that you like. Light up a Lucky Strike. Relax. It's light up time. There's a happy way to make ends meet. Put the end of a match to the end of a Lucky and puff. It always adds up to real smoking enjoyment. Why? Well, first because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. And then this fine, good tasting tobacco is toasted to taste even better. Cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, anytime you want to lighten a problem, light up a Lucky. For the taste that you like. Light up a Lucky Strike. Right now. Light up a Lucky. It's light up time. Number two. Thelma Tadlock and Tom Hansen find theatrical memories in Survey Song number two, Lisbon Antigua. Number five on the survey. Here's Snooky Lanson with a song that continues high in the favor of the nation. 16 tons. Some people say a man is made out of mud. A poor man's made out of muscle and blood. Muscle and blood, skin and bones. Find that sweet and a back that strong, you load 16 tons. What do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter, don't you call me cuz I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine. I picked up my shovel. I walked to the mine. I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal and the straw boss said, "Well, bless my soul. You loaded 16 tons. What do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt." Saint Peter, don't you call me cuz I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. If you see me coming, better step aside. A lot of men didn't. A lot of men died. One fist of iron, the other of steel. Who lives? The right one don't get you, then the left one will. You load 16 tons. What do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. Saint Peter, don't you call me cuz I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store. Survey song number six. Dorothy Collins sings a sad serenade in the wee small hours. It's almost tomorrow. My dearest, my darling, tomorrow is near. Your kisses all tell me your love is untrue. Your lips won't be smiling. Your eyes will not shine. For I know tomorrow that your love won't be mine. It's almost tomorrow, but what can I do? Your kisses all tell me that your love is untrue. I'll love you forever till stars cease to shine. And hope someday, darling, that you'll always be mine. It's almost tomorrow, but what can I do? Your kisses all tell me that your love is untrue. I love you forever till stars cease to shine. And hope someday, darling, that you'll always be mine. Time for another Lucky Strike extra. As a musical tribute to Washington's birthday, Russell Arms, the Hit Paraders and Dancers, bring us a medley of Yankee Doodle Dandy and You're a Grand Old Flag. I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Yankee Doodle do or die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam, born on the 4th of July. I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, she's my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle went to London just to ride the pony. I am that Yankee Doodle boy. Yankee Doodle went to London just to ride the pony. I am that Yankee Doodle boy. You're a grand old flag, you're a high flying flag and forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of the land I love, the home of the free and the brave. Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue, but with never a boast or brag. And should old acquaintance be forgot, keep your eye on the grand old flag. Every heart beats true for the red, white, and blue, where there's never a boast or brag. And should old acquaintance be forgot, keep your eye on the flag, keep your eye on the flag, keep your eye on the grand old flag. And here's a word from our co-sponsor, Richard Hudnut, as we go backstage at Your Hit Parade with Julia Meade. Hi, have you heard the news? No, what? I bet it's about Richard Hudnut. Right, Cynthia, and it's the most exciting home permanent news in years. It's new improved Quick by Richard Hudnut, the only home permanent with an exclusive Richard Hudnut penetrating ingredient that actually prevents weak surface waves. Now, this is what can happen with an ordinary home permanent. See how weak and limp the wave is? Just on the surface. And here's a new improved Quick Wave. The new penetrating ingredient has gone into every hair and given it a lasting and much more natural wave pattern. New double analyzed Quick is still the quickest, too. Just 1 hour from start to setting and you'll have a soft wave that's much more like naturally curly hair for at least 6 months. I hope you'll all get improved Quick with the new penetrating ingredient. Only famous Richard Hudnut makes it and it looks and lasts much more like naturally curly hair. Number one, the top tune of the week. The song the survey finds in first place. Gisèle MacKenzie steps into the winner's spotlight with song number one, the Rock and Roll Waltz. One night I was late, came home from a day, slipped out of my shoes at the door. Then from the front room, I heard a jump two. I looked in and here's what I saw. Waltz in the night. What a wonderful scene. Mom was dancing with Dad to my record machine. But as they danced, only one thing was wrong. They were trying to waltz to a rock and roll song. One, two, and then rock. One, two, and then roll. It was the rock and roll waltz. Rock, two, three, roll, two, three. It looks so cute to me. I love the rock and roll waltz. One, two, and then rock. One, two, and then roll. One, two, and then jump. It's good for your soul. It's old, but it's new. I love the rock and roll Let's do the rock and roll. I love the rock and roll waltz. So long for a while. That's all the songs for a while. So long to Your Hit Parade and the tunes that you picked to be played. So long.
