Lyrics

(And this is only the beginning)
From high atop the magnificent Altoona Motor Hotel
Overlooking the twinkling lights of a magic city
The WBR Network proudly presents
The light and lilting sounds of your favorite music-makers
For your listening, dancing and ro-mancing pleasure
Good evening, America
This is Smilin' Eddie Fatootsie
Speaking to you from downtown Altoona
Where we've got toe-tapping, hand-clapping, finger-snapping, speed melodies
Designed to help you forget the cares of the day
Music from one of the world's great motor hotels
That will soothe the savage beast
Warm the heart and tickle the toesies
Songs of love and laughter, joy and tears
Here while the lights of the city shine below
We proudly offer you the music of today and yesterday
Singable, danceable music
And now to get our program off and running here are some soft and subtle sounds
Times have changed
And we've often rewound the clock
Since the Puritans got the shock
When they landed on Plymouth Rock
If today
Any shock they should try to stem
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock
Plymouth Rock would land on them
Written by: Harold Arlen, Ted Koehler
