Ah, good morning, ladies and gentlemen! I wish you could be here
On this beautiful day to see the sun shining down this
Magnificent avenue. All the fair ladies about and all the handsome
Gentlemen are there, for this is the day that everyone is
Saluting that celebrated international figure, Governor Slugwell!
Ladies and gentlemen, I can see him now down in front of the
Courthouse. Looks like he's getting into this... yes, he is
Getting into a magnificent automobile there. Oh, it's shining so
Bright in the sunshine, and the people are all gazing around trying
To say hello to him, and there's an immense crowd gathering. He's
Got two blondes on each arm, a king-size boutonniere in his
Buttonhole, and a pound of twigs in the toolbox. Hooray for Slugwell!
Thank you, my friends
Lady, will you stand back? What are you trying to get yourself
Killed? This is a parade, my dear woman. You got... the mother of
Five children! Peanuts, popcorn, hot dogs, get 'em... Slugwell!
Thank you, my friends
And ladies and gentlemen, coming right down in the middle of the
Boulevard, with its golden sunshine shining down on their magnificent
Uniforms, is the pride of the nation, the 707 Elks Drum Corps Negro!
Lady, will you stand back? That's not the last time I'm going to
Tell you now. Hot dogs, get 'em all red hot. Hooray for Slugwell!
Thank you, my friends
And ladies and gentlemen, here we are at the stadium. Good heavens
I, I know I sound excited, but I can't help it. There's so much
Excitement in the air. Ah, this is such a tremendous night. You can
Feel the excitement, you can feel the enthusiasm building. There must
Be five hundred thousand people here at the stadium as the governor
Car swings through into the auditorium gates, and right in the middle
Of the field, you can hear these people yell, "Hooray for Slugwell!"
And now, ladies and gentlemen, time is short. I'm up here
In the observation booth, and we just have time now to
Turn this over to Senator Gidley down on the platform
Well, he'll introduce this magnificent political deity
My friends, I would like to say that never in my political history
Have I ever enjoyed the privilege of presenting such a great
Beloved man, a human being not only beloved in this fair country
But beloved world over. His name, a name which imprinted on
Every heart in America, Governor Slingwell... Slugwell! Hooray!
My friends, I, mm, eh, would like to say that, uh, I've never before
Mm, eh, been greeted by such, uh, warmth and, uh, beauty. I'll
Be there in a moment, Mary. Now, I would like to say that things
Are going so well and so, mm, beautiful with me. My, uh, Rolls-
Royces are all running fine, uh, three more oil wells came in
Mm, I just bought the waterworks last week, uh, I've had the
Gas works for quite some time, mm, and things are going at such
A magnificent rate, uh, that I believe that it is possible for
Each and every member of this great state, the Employees Association
Shall receive a substantial raise in salary amounting to...
... And seventy-five cents. And I would like to say that
Eh, I wish you all a happy, happy time, and you'll be hearing
Me from me next very, very soon. Thank you, and good night
Hooray for Slugwell!
Hooray... what? Hello, Charlie? Yes, that's
Right, that's him. Woo! Hooray for Slugwell!
