00:00Starring Lucille Ball, co-starring Gail Gordon.
00:30Gail, I can't afford a trip to Palm Springs.
00:45Hey Lucy, all the members of the Act get their room and board free.
00:51So?
00:52Well, we'll just say that you're one of us and they won't know the difference.
00:56Oh, I couldn't do that.
00:59Oh, please come with me.
01:01Oh, honey, I can't.
01:03Besides, Mr. Mooney is bringing some work over here for me to do over the weekend.
01:07He'll be here any minute.
01:08Lucy, why don't you pretend you're sick and then let him get somebody else to do the work.
01:13Pretend I'm sick?
01:14Yeah.
01:15What would I say was wrong with me?
01:17How about a sore throat or a broken arm?
01:21Broken arm?
01:23Oh.
01:25Oh, well.
01:31Come in!
01:36Good morning, Ms. Gottweil.
01:37Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
01:38Forgive me for not going to the door, but I was just unable to climb those stairs.
01:46Well, what's wrong?
01:48I don't know.
01:49It just hit me all of a sudden.
01:51I just feel black.
01:53Oh, that's too bad.
01:55However, I firmly believe that if people get busy working, they get their minds off themselves and they feel much better.
02:01But this poor girl has been very sick all day.
02:05Oh?
02:06Oh, Mr. Mooney, this is my roommate, Carol Bradford.
02:09How do you do?
02:11So you're that nice, sweet, considerate boss Lucy's always talking about.
02:16Oh, she must be sick.
02:20She really is, Mr. Mooney.
02:22She's not able to work.
02:23I used to be a nurse, and I know what's the matter with her.
02:26What?
02:30She has a tsetse virus.
02:34A tsetse virus?
02:36Yes, and it's very contagious.
02:37Why, you shouldn't even be here.
02:39Well, if it's so contagious, what are you doing here?
02:42Oh, well, it's only contagious to people over 50.
02:49Oh, well, then I'm safe.
02:52But perhaps I should leave.
02:54I might pass it on to Mrs. Mooney.
02:59Oh, this is very upsetting.
03:00This work is so important.
03:02Maybe if I sent my doctor over to that...
03:04Your doctor?
03:05Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Mooney.
03:07All she needs is complete rest over the weekend.
03:10She'll snap out of this.
03:11I don't think it's fatal.
03:13Oh, I hope not.
03:15I hope...
03:16Goodbye.
03:17Goodbye.
03:20Oh, just in case it is fatal,
03:23would you try to find out where she keeps my stamps and petty cash?
03:38Humphreys, here we come!
03:48Thanks.
03:50Isn't this a life?
03:51Oh, yeah, just great.
03:53Oh, and I think the rooms are beautiful.
03:56Aren't they too much?
03:57Oh, I love the colors.
04:04Why are you putting that up there?
04:05It's closer to the sun.
04:09That's a good idea.
04:16Hurry up.
04:17That's good.
04:21Carol?
04:22Hmm?
04:23Am I tan yet?
04:26Your foot looks tan.
04:28Oh, that's a dye for my shoes.
04:30Oh.
04:31They ought to bottle it.
04:32It works better than the suntan lotion.
04:36You know what I love about getting a tan?
04:38What?
04:39Makes people's teeth look so nice and white.
04:41Yeah.
04:43Once I get started, I smile right up through Labor Day.
04:56What are you doing?
04:57Well, I want to get some sun on my neck
04:59so I won't have a white blotch.
05:02Oh, yeah.
05:03I always have trouble getting the inside of my arms tan.
05:07It ain't tough to get an even tan.
05:09Sure is.
05:19Pardon me.
05:24I'm Mr. Hoskell, the hotel manager.
05:26Oh, how do you do?
05:28I was just checking your accommodations.
05:30When I engaged this group, I was under the impression
05:33there was only one woman in the act.
05:35Oh, no.
05:36There must be some mistake.
05:37Miss Carmichael here is a very important member of the group.
05:42Oh, I see.
05:44Well, I'll look forward to seeing you perform.
05:48Good afternoon, ladies.
05:49Good afternoon.
05:50Good afternoon.
05:52Oh, Carol, I was afraid something like this was going to happen.
05:55When he finds out I don't work in the act,
05:57he'll throw me right out of here.
05:58Now, don't you worry.
05:59We'll figure out some way to use you in the act.
06:01What can I do?
06:02Well, there must be something you can do.
06:05Well, I can play glow little glow worm on an E flat alto sax.
06:12I learned it in the eighth grade.
06:14No, somehow I don't think this is going to be
06:16a glow little glow worm audience.
06:18Oh, I better start packing.
06:19Oh, no, Lucy, please stay with me.
06:21We'll figure out something.
06:22Well, what?
06:23You gotta stay, Lucy.
06:24I'm going to be so nervous.
06:25I want to stay.
06:32Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
06:34We're bringing you all the color preceding tomorrow's
06:37annual Palm Springs Golf Classic.
06:40And here to open the festivities, a great musical group,
06:43the Vagabonds featuring Carol Bradford and Lucy Carmichael.
06:48Along the beach at Waikiki, a fair wife is waiting for me, with the dark eyes and lovable
07:07charms, a very sweet of iron hospitality.
07:12A hoki akinau, hoki akinau, a hoki akinau, hoki akinau, a hoki akinau, hoki akinau,
07:23a hoki akinau, hoki akinau.
07:27Honolulu, beautiful Honolulu.
07:30Ahhhh!
07:33Honolulu, located in the singular island of Oahu.
07:39Oahu spelled backwards is O-H-A-H.
07:44We're going to a hoki lau, a hoki hoki hoki hoki hoki lau.
07:51Everybody loves a hoki lau.
07:55There's a launa and a cowbell in the big blue water.
07:59We throw our nets right into the sea, and all the little fishes come swimmin' to me.
08:06We're going to a hoki lau, a hoki hoki hoki hoki hoki lau.

09:18Lucy, look!
09:19Colin Grant's playing in the tournament!
09:21Colin Grant, the millionaire sportsman?
09:24Yeah!
09:25Oh! Oh, what a man!
09:27Not only rich, but so handsome, so adventurous!
09:32Yeah, yeah, but you know what I like about him the most?
09:34What?
09:35He's so single.
09:37I don't know how long that's gonna keep up, though,
09:39with the way the women keep throwing themselves at him.
09:42Yeah, I don't know how women can do that.
09:44I could never run after a man.
09:46You know, I think that is probably the most foolish thing
09:48any woman has ever done.
09:52Oh, no!
09:57I wonder if I could have my starting time.
09:59My name is Grant, Colin Grant.
10:01Oh, yes, sir. 10.30 tomorrow morning.
10:03Well, look who's here!
10:05Colin Grant.
10:06Pardon me, sir.
10:07I wonder if we could have a few words
10:08for the radio audience, would you?
10:10Well, I'm not much of a talker,
10:11but I'd be happy to bide you, sir.
10:13Well, thank you very much.
10:14Ladies and gentlemen, we have now at our microphone
10:16Mr. Colin Grant, celebrated big-game hunter,
10:19deep-sea fisherman, and a fine golfer.
10:21Well, thank you.
10:22Thank you. It's nice to have you here, sir.
10:24It's a pleasure to be here.
10:25Mr. Grant, I dislike making the ladies
10:28in our audience unhappy,
10:29but I hear you are a confirmed bachelor.
10:32Oh, no, I wouldn't say that.
10:34As a matter of fact, I've reached an age
10:36where I'm seriously considering getting married.
10:43Do you have anyone special in mind?
10:45No.
10:46No, as a matter of fact, I think probably
10:48I'll have a little trouble finding the right girl.
10:51Oh?
10:52What do you mean by the right girl?
10:54Well, I mean a girl that's interested
10:56in things that I like.
10:57You know, golfing, hunting, fishing.
10:59Oh.
11:00Well, I hope you do find the right girl, Mr. Grant,
11:02and I hope tomorrow you'll find our golf course
11:04here to your liking, too.
11:05Well, I'm sure I will. Nice talking to you.
11:07Nice talking to you. Thank you very much, sir.
11:12Isn't he divine?
11:14You know, I think my browsing is over.
11:17I wonder how I could get to meet him.
11:19You see, I'm, um...
11:20I'll go over and ask him for his autograph,
11:23and then I'll bring you over.
11:25You'll ask him for his autograph
11:27and then bring me over?
11:29Yeah.
11:30Okay.
11:31Carol?
11:32Huh?
11:33You won't forget to bring me over.
11:37Hi.
11:38Mr. Grant?
11:39Yes?
11:40Could I have your autograph?
11:42Why, sure.
11:50You're welcome.
11:51Actually, it's not for me.
11:53It's for my girlfriend.
11:55Oh?
11:56Yeah, she's just crazy about big game hunting
11:59and safaris and the jungle.
12:10I'll tell him you were asking for it.
12:16Oh, thank you.
12:17My girlfriend's going to be so thrilled with this.
12:20Is that so?
12:21Why didn't she ask for my autograph herself?
12:23Oh, well, to tell you the truth,
12:25she's very standoffish about men.
12:27She can't stand women who are always chasing after men.
12:31Oh, that's refreshing.
12:32Where is this standoffish friend of yours?
12:35Right over there.
12:39Oh.
12:40Little lady didn't want to meet me, huh?
12:42Afraid not.
12:44Well, you can't win them all.
12:46But I'll see if I can get her over here.
12:50Lucy, he wants to meet you.
12:53Yeah.
12:54No, Lucy, Lucy, play it cool.
12:56Act very standoffish.
12:58Standoffish?
12:59Yeah, like you don't care.
13:00Come on.
13:06Miss Carmichael, may I present Mr. Grant.
13:10How do you do?
13:11How do you do?
13:16Lucy was quite interested in that safari film
13:19you showed on TV the other night.
13:21Oh, is that so?
13:22Have you ever done any big game hunting?
13:24Oh, I'll say she has.
13:26Last winter, she needed a new rug for her ski lodge,
13:30and do you know what she did?
13:32What?
13:35She took a little old rifle and went out hunting for a grizzly.
13:40A grizzly bear?
13:42Yes, back in Wyoming.
13:44Oh, yes, that's where I have my skiing lodge.
13:48This grizzly was so big
13:50that all the hunters called him Old Goliath.
13:53Old Goliath, yeah.
13:55There she was, following his tracks,
13:58when suddenly something in the bushes moved ahead of her,
14:02and there she was, face to face with this big old grizzly,
14:05and all she had was her trusty little rifle.
14:08That must have been frightening.
14:09Was it a 30-30 or a 40-40?
14:11I'd say it was about 50-50.
14:16She means the bear was just as scared as she was.
14:19Oh, yes.
14:21You finally bagged him, huh?
14:23Uh, yes, yes.
14:25Today, Old Goliath is known as Old Wall the Wall.
14:30Doesn't she have a terrific sense of humor?
14:33Yes, as a matter of fact, she's quite a gal.
14:37Say, I hadn't planned on going to this dinner dance
14:40they're having here tonight,
14:41but I was just wondering,
14:43perhaps you'd like to be my dinner date tonight.
14:46Oh!
14:47I, uh, I really have been swamped with invitations,
14:51but I'd be glad to put your name on the list.
14:53Well, I don't want to intrude.
14:55On the top of the list.
14:58Well, fine, I'll see you tonight.
15:00Uh, yes, uh, about what time?
15:03Well, how about...
15:04Want to make it as early as pots?
15:07How about eight-ish?
15:08Oh, how about half-past-ish?
15:11Well, if that's okay with me.
15:13If you'll excuse me, girls,
15:14I want to get on to the practice team.
15:15Oh, yes.
15:16We'll see you later.
15:17Okay.
15:21Oh, isn't he something?
15:24Oh, what a beautiful day I'm having!
15:27Oh, what a beautiful night you're gonna have!
15:31Imagine me dating Colin Grant!
15:39Carol, look!
15:40Oh, no, are you sure that's your Mr. Mooney?
15:44I know it's my Mr. Mooney.
15:51Mrs. Carmichael!
15:52I thought you were sick!
15:54You should have seen me when your name went up.
15:58What are you doing here?
16:00Well, Mr. Mooney, it's all my fault.
16:02I forced her to come down here to bake out her virus.
16:05Yeah, you want a nice, healthy girl
16:07showing up for work Monday morning, don't you?
16:10Yes, so I'll call the employment agency
16:12and have them send me one.
16:14Oh, now, Mr. Mooney, you wouldn't fire a girl
16:16just because she got well, would you?
16:18Well, now that you're well,
16:19go back to town and get to work.
16:21But I can't. I can't leave Mr. Mooney.
16:23Why not?
16:24Because tonight's one of the most important nights
16:26of my whole life.
16:27Colin Grant, the famous sportsman,
16:29has asked me to go to the dinner dance with him.
16:32Colin Grant?
16:33Yes.
16:34You have a date with Colin Grant?
16:36Haven't I?
16:37Yes.
16:38Why, he's my partner in the tournament.
16:39I know, I know.
16:41A man like that doesn't like to be stood up, Mr. Mooney.
16:43No, if she stood him up,
16:45why, it might throw him right off his game tomorrow.
16:47That's right.
16:48Oh, I wouldn't want that to happen.
16:50Well, well, well, if I stood him up,
16:52he wouldn't be himself at all.
16:54You know, he'd be nothing but a big, broken-hearted slob.
16:59It's hard for a big, broken-hearted slob
17:02to putt when he has tears in his eyes.
17:05Well, you keep that date.
17:07And for once in your life, be on time.
17:09Yes, sir.
17:10And you see to it that he enjoys himself this evening.
17:13Yes, sir.
17:14Hmm, hmm.
17:41How do I look?
17:42You look lovely.
17:44Lucy, there you are.
17:46Oh, hi.
17:47Well, you two have fun.
17:48I'll see you later.
17:49Oh, wait a minute, Carol.
17:50Girls, I hope you don't mind if we make it a foursome tonight.
17:54Oh.
17:55Yes, I've asked a friend of mine to join us for dinner,
17:57if you don't mind.
17:58Oh, fine.
17:59Hey, partner.
18:01Yes, Mr. Grant.
18:04Let's not be formal about that, Mr. Grant.
18:07Ted, I want you to meet Lucy and Carol.
18:10We've already met.
18:12Yes.
18:13We're old friends, aren't we, Teddy?
18:18Well, isn't that nice?
18:19Ted, why don't you take Carol and sit at our table right here?
18:22You look lovely, Lucy.
18:24Well, thank you.
18:28Showtime, folks.
18:30Oh, showtime.
18:31That means I'm afraid we'll have to be excused for a few moments.
18:35Well, I didn't know you were an entertainer.
18:37Neither did I.
18:39She does this as a hobby.
18:41Ah, yes.
18:42Yes, I donate all my salary to the Society for Underprivileged Secretaries.
18:48And now we proudly present
18:51The Vagabonds, featuring Carol Bradford and Lucy Carmichael.
18:57Oh, that lazy river
19:00By the old mill run
19:04That lazy, lazy river
19:07In the noonday sun
19:10It lingers in the shade
19:13Of a kind old tree
19:16Tear all away your troubled dreams
19:21Of a kind old tree
19:23Tear all away your troubled dreams
19:26I dream of
19:33Where the rum and salt
19:36Meets a bright new morning
19:38We can loaf along
19:42Blue skies above
19:45Everyone's in love
19:52I dream of
19:59A happy weekend meeting
20:02Of a lazy river with me
20:10There are rivers and rivers.
20:12But there's one thing about every river.
20:15They're all wet.
20:18Remember, the biggest river that ever floated a ship
20:21Started out in life as just a little drip.
20:27A river helps you wash your clothes and also your dishes.
20:31A river is home to people, especially little fishes.
20:38The Mississippi River flows from north to south.
20:41And at the end it stops and says,
20:43Well, shut my mouth.
20:47Now, this lazy river does nothing from dusk to dawn.
20:51Why, it's so lazy, the fishes would rather yawn than spawn.
21:05A lazy river where the old mill runs
21:08That lazy, lazy river
21:10In the noonday sun
21:12It lingers in the shade
21:13Of a kind old tree
21:15Go away your troubles, dream a dream with me
21:18Of a lazy river where the rolling storms
21:21Awake the bright new morning
21:22We can loaf along
21:24Blue skies above
21:26Everyone's in love
21:28Of a lazy river
21:29A happy weekend meeting
21:31Of a lazy river with me
21:34Muddy, muddy river
21:35Stay away from my door
21:37We don't want you hanging out here anymore
21:40In the shade of a kind old tree
21:43Go away your troubles, dream a dream
21:44With me
21:45Of a lazy river where the rolling storms
21:48Awake the bright new morning
21:49We can loaf along
21:51Blue skies above
21:54Everyone's in love
21:57Of a lazy river
22:00Blue bad river
22:03Of a lazy river

22:09Muddy, muddy river
22:11Muddy, muddy river
22:41Muddy, muddy river
22:44Muddy, muddy river
22:47Muddy, muddy river
22:50Muddy, muddy river
