00:00The Lucy Show Starring Lucille Ball
00:18Co-Starring Gail Gordon
01:19Oh, Lucy, I just can't believe it.
01:22What?
01:23Me!
01:24Last week a librarian, this week in show business, going to Palm Springs.
01:29Me!
01:30Well, if you find it so hard to believe, I got it right here in black and white.
01:34Listen to this.
01:35The Popular Vagabonds Group has added Carol Bradford as their featured vocalist for their appearance at the Palm Springs Golf Classic.
01:44How about that?
01:48Oh, what's the matter?
01:50You know, when I get nervous, I get the...
01:52I know.
01:53Oh, I wish you were going with me.
01:55Oh, now, Carol, I'd love to, but I can't.
01:57Oh, but if you were going with me, I wouldn't be so nervous.
02:00Oh, it's such a beautiful place, and you'd meet such a lot of people.
02:04I know.
02:05Oh, it'd be such fun.
02:06I know, honey.
02:07Lucy, you know some of the most eligible bachelors in the world play in that golf tournament.
02:12Oh.
02:13Hey, Lucy, all the members of the act get their room and board free.
02:19So?
02:20Well, we'll just say that you're one of us, and they won't know the difference.
02:24Oh, I couldn't do that.
02:25Oh, Lucy.
02:26Oh, please come with me.
02:28Oh, honey, I can't.
02:30Besides, Mr. Mooney is bringing some work over here for me to do over the weekend.
02:34He'll be here any minute.
02:35Hey, Lucy, why don't you pretend you're sick and then let him get somebody else to do the work?
02:40Pretend I'm sick?
02:42What would I say was wrong with me?
02:44How about a sore throat or a broken arm?
02:48No.
02:50Oh, well.
02:56Come in.
03:01Good morning, Ms. Gottlieb.
03:02Good morning, Mr. Mooney.
03:04Forgive me for not going to the door, but I was just unable to climb those stairs.
03:12Well, what's wrong?
03:14I don't know.
03:15It just hit me all of a sudden.
03:17I just feel blah.
03:19Oh, that's too bad.
03:21However, I firmly believe that if people get busy working, they get their minds off themselves and they feel much better.
03:27But this poor girl has been very sick all day.
03:31Oh?
03:32Oh, Mr. Mooney, this is my roommate, Carol Bradford.
03:35How do you do?
03:37You're that nice, sweet, considerate boss Lucy's always talking about.
03:42Oh, she must be sick.
03:47Oh, this is very upsetting.
03:48This work is so important.
03:50Maybe if I sent my doctor over to that...
03:52Your doctor?
03:53Oh, no, no, no, Mr. Mooney.
03:55All she needs is complete rest over the weekend.
03:58She'll snap out of this.
03:59I don't think it's fatal.
04:01Oh, I hope not.
04:03I hope...
04:04Goodbye.
04:05Goodbye.
04:08Oh, just in case it is fatal, would you try to find out where she keeps my stamps and petty cash?
04:25Woohoo!
04:26Palm Springs, here we come!
04:35Hey, isn't this some life?
04:39Oh, yeah, just great.
04:41Oh, and I think the rooms are beautiful.
04:43Aren't they too much?
04:44Oh, I love the colors.
04:46Yeah.
04:51Why are you putting that up there?
04:53It's closer to the sun.
04:56That's a good idea.
04:59Ah!
05:04Hurry up!
05:05That's good.
05:13What are you doing?
05:15Well, I want to get some sun on my neck so I won't have a white blotch.
05:19Oh, yeah.
05:20I always have trouble getting the inside of my arms tanned.
05:24It's tough to get it even tanned.
05:26It sure is.
05:37Pardon me.
05:38Ah!
05:42I'm Mr. Hostel, the hotel manager.
05:44Oh, how do you do?
05:46I was just checking your accommodations.
05:48When I engaged this group, I was under the impression there was only one woman in the act.
05:53Oh, no, there must be some mistake.
05:55Miss Carmichael here is a very important member of the group.
05:59Oh, I see.
06:02Well, I'll look forward to seeing you perform.
06:05Good afternoon, ladies.
06:07Good afternoon.
06:08Good afternoon.
06:10Oh, Carol, I was afraid something like this was going to happen.
06:13When he finds out I don't work in the act, he'll throw me right out of here.
06:16Now, don't you worry.
06:17We'll figure out some way to use you in the act.
06:19What can I do?
06:20Well, there must be something you can do.
06:22Well, I can play Glow Little Glow Worm on an E-flat alto sax.
06:29I learned it in the eighth grade.
06:31No, somehow I don't think this is going to be a Glow Little Glow Worm audience.
06:35Oh, I better start packing.
06:37Oh, no, Lucy, please stay with me. We'll figure out something.
06:40Well, what?
06:41You've got to stay, Lucy. I'm going to be so nervous.
06:43I want to stay.
06:53Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
06:55We're bringing you all the color preceding tomorrow's annual Palm Springs Golf Classic.
07:01And here to open the festivities, a great musical group,
07:05The Vagabonds, featuring Carol Bradford and Lucy Carmichael.
07:09Lucy Carmichael.
07:18Along the beach at Waikiki
07:22A fair wife is waiting for me
07:26With the dark eyes and lovable charms
07:30A very sweet of iron hospitality
07:34A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
07:38A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
07:42A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
07:45A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
07:49Honolulu. Beautiful Honolulu.
07:56Honolulu, located in the singular island of Oahu.
08:02Oahu's spelled backwards.
08:07We're going to a hoki akelau
08:10A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
08:14Everybody loves a hoki akelau
08:17Where a lau and a kaukau is a big luau
08:21We'll throw our nets right into the sea
08:25And all the little fishes come swimmin' to me
08:28Oh, we're going to a hoki akelau
08:32A hoki akelau, hoki akelau
08:59A hoki akelau
09:03A hoki akelau
09:28A hoki akelau
09:43Hey, Lucy, you did great.
09:45I think I fooled the manager anyway.
09:47Didn't I tell you there'd be a lot of handsome men around here?
09:51And didn't I listen?
09:52Oh, and look, they're putting the men's names up like bargains in the supermarket.
09:59Oh.
10:02May I help you?
10:03Uh, no, I was just browsing.
10:09Lucy, look, Colin Grant's playing in the tournament.
10:13Colin Grant, the millionaire sportsman?
10:15Yeah.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh, what a man.
10:19Not only rich, but so handsome, so adventurous.
10:23Yeah, yeah, but you know what I like about him the most?
10:25What?
10:26He's so single.
10:28Yeah, I don't know how long that's gonna keep up, though,
10:30with the way the women keep throwing themselves at him.
10:33Yeah, I don't know how women can do that.
10:35I could never run after a man.
10:37You know, I think that is probably the most foolish thing any woman has ever done.
10:43Carol, I know.
10:48I wonder if I could have my starting time.
10:50My name is Grant, Colin Grant.
10:52Oh, yes, sir.
10:5310.30 tomorrow morning.
10:54You know, I think my browsing is over.
10:57Gee, I wonder how I could get to meet him.
10:59Lucy, I know.
11:00I'll go over and ask him for his autograph, and then I'll bring you over.
11:05You'll ask him for his autograph and then bring me over?
11:09Yeah.
11:10Okay.
11:11Carol.
11:12Huh?
11:13You won't forget to bring me over.
11:17Hi.
11:18Mr. Grant?
11:19Yes.
11:20Could I have your autograph?
11:22Why, sure.
11:30You're welcome.
11:31Actually, it's not for me.
11:33It's for my girlfriend.
11:35Oh?
11:36Yeah, she's just crazy about big game hunting and safaris and the jungle.
11:43Ah!
11:50I'll tell him you were asking for it.
11:55Oh, thank you.
11:56My girlfriend's going to be so thrilled with this.
11:59Is that so?
12:00Why didn't she ask for my autograph herself?
12:02Oh, well, to tell you the truth, she's very standoffish about men.
12:06She can't stand women who are always chasing after men.
12:10Oh, that's refreshing.
12:11Where is this standoffish friend of yours?
12:13Right over there.
12:17Oh.
12:19Little lady didn't want to meet me, huh?
12:21Afraid not.
12:23Can't win them all.
12:24But I'll see if I can get her over here.
12:29Lucy, he wants to meet you.
12:31Yeah?
12:32No, Lucy, Lucy.
12:33Play it cool.
12:34Act very standoffish.
12:36Standoffish?
12:37Yeah, like you don't care.
12:38Come on.
12:44Miss Carmichael, may I present Mr. Grant.
12:48How do you do?
12:49How do you do?
12:54Lucy was quite interested in that safari film you showed on TV the other night.
12:59Oh, is that so?
13:00Have you ever done any big game hunting?
13:02Oh, I'll say she has.
13:04Last winter, she needed a new rug for her ski lodge.
13:08And do you know what she did?
13:10What?
13:14She took a little old rifle and went out hunting for a grizzly.
13:19A grizzly bear?
13:21Yes, back in Wyoming.
13:23Oh, yes, that's where I have my skiing lodge.
13:27This grizzly was so big that all the hunters called him Old Goliath.
13:31Old Goliath.
13:32You finally bagged him, huh?
13:34Uh, yes, yes.
13:36Today, Old Goliath is known as Old Wall to Wall.
13:40Doesn't she have a terrific sense of humor?
13:44Yeah, as a matter of fact, she's quite a gal.
13:48Say, I hadn't planned on going to this dinner dance they're having here tonight,
13:52but I was just wondering.
13:54Perhaps you'd like to be my dinner date tonight?
13:57Oh, I, uh, I really have been swamped with invitations,
14:02but I'd be glad to put your name on the list.
14:04Well, I don't want to intrude.
14:05On the top of the list.
14:07Well, fine, I'll see you tonight.
14:10Uh, yes, uh, about what time?
14:13Well, how about...
14:14Want to make it as early as possible?
14:16How about eight-ish?
14:18Oh, how about half-past-ish?
14:21Well, that's okay with me.
14:23Oh, how about half-past-ish?
14:25Well, that's okay with me.
14:27If you'll excuse me, girls, I want to get out on the practice team.
14:29Oh, yes.
14:30See you later.
14:31Okay.
14:36Oh, isn't he something?
14:38Oh, what a beautiful day I'm having.
14:41Oh, what a beautiful night you're gonna have.
14:46Imagine me dating Colin Grant.
14:53Carol, look!
14:55Oh, no, are you sure that's your Mr. Mooney?
14:58I know it's my Mr. Mooney.
15:05Mrs. Carmichael, I thought you were sick.
15:08You should have seen me when your name went up.
15:13What are you doing here?
15:15Mr. Mooney, it's all my fault.
15:17I forced her to come down here to bake out her virus.
15:20You want a nice, healthy girl showing up for work Monday morning, don't you?
15:24Yes, so I'll call the employment agency and have them send me one.
15:29Oh, yeah, Mr. Mooney, you wouldn't fire a girl just because she got well, would you?
15:33Well, now that you're well, go back to town and get to work.
15:36But I can't. I can't leave, Mr. Mooney.
15:38Why not?
15:39Because tonight's one of the most important nights of my whole life.
15:42Colin Grant, the famous sportsman, has asked me to go to the dinner dance with him.
15:47Colin Grant?
15:48Yes.
15:49To have a date with Colin Grant?
15:50Haven't I?
15:51Yes.
15:52Why, he's my partner in the tournament.
15:54I know, I know.
15:55A man like that doesn't like to be stood up, Mr. Mooney.
15:58No, if she stood him up, why, it might throw him right off his game tomorrow.
16:02That's right.
16:03Oh, I wouldn't want that to happen.
16:05Well, well, well, if I stood him up, he wouldn't be himself at all.
16:09You know, he'd be nothing but a big, broken-hearted slob.
16:14It's hard for a big, broken-hearted slob to putt when he has tears in his eyes.
16:20Well, you keep that date, and for once in your life, be on time.
16:24Yes, sir.
16:25And you see to it that he enjoys himself this evening.
16:28Yes, sir.
16:44How do I look?
17:03You look lovely.
17:05Lucy, there you are.
17:06Oh, hello.
17:07Well, you two have fun.
17:08I'll see you later.
17:09Oh, wait a minute, Carol.
17:11Girls, I hope you don't mind if we make it a foursome tonight.
17:15Oh.
17:16Yes, I've asked a friend of mine to join us for dinner, if you don't mind.
17:19Oh, fine.
17:20Hey, partner.
17:22Yes, Mr. Grant.
17:25Let's not be formal about that, Mr. Grant.
17:28Ted, I want you to meet Lucy and Carol.
17:31We've already met.
17:33Yes.
17:34We're old friends, aren't we, Teddy?
17:39Well, isn't that nice, Ted?
17:40Why don't you take Carol?
17:41This is our table right here.
17:43You look lovely, Lucy.
17:49Showtime, folks.
17:51Oh, showtime.
17:52That means us.
17:53I'm afraid we'll have to be excused for a few moments.
17:56Well, I didn't know you were an entertainer.
17:58Neither did I.
18:00Lucy does this as a hobby.
18:03Uh, yes, yes.
18:04I donate all my salary to the Society for Underprivileged Secretaries.
18:10And now we proudly present The Vagabonds featuring Carol Bradford and Lucy Carmichael.
18:25Up that lazy river by the old mill run
18:31That lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
18:37It lingers in the shade of a kind old tree
18:43Throw away your troubles, be my dream of me
18:52When the robin's song meets a bright new morning
18:58We can loaf along
19:01Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
19:07Oh!
19:18How happy we can be
19:21Off the lazy river with thee
19:29There are rivers and rivers.
19:32But there's one thing about every river.
19:35They're all wet.
19:38Remember, the biggest river that ever floated a ship
19:42Started out in life as just a little drip.
19:48A river helps you wash your clothes and also your dishes.
19:52A river is home to people, especially little fishes.
19:59The Mississippi River flows from north to south.
20:02And at the end, it stops and says, well, shut my mouth.
20:07Now, this lazy river does nothing from dusk to dawn.
20:11Why, it's so lazy, the fishes would rather yawn than spawn.
20:22Up that lazy river by the old mill run
20:28That lazy, lazy river in the noonday sun
20:31Living in the shade of a kind old tree
20:34Throw away your troubles, be my dream with me
20:38Up the lazy river when the robin's song
20:41Awaits a bright new morning, we can loaf along
20:44Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
20:47On the lazy river, how happy you can be
20:50On the lazy river with me
20:53Muddy, muddy river, stay away from my door
20:56We don't want you hanging out here anymore
21:00Living in the shade of a kind old tree
21:03Throw away your troubles, be my dream with me
21:06Up the lazy river when the robin's song
21:09Awaits a bright new morning, we can loaf along
21:12Blue skies up above, everyone's in love
21:18On the lazy river, to the river
21:24Up the lazy river with me
21:30Muddy, muddy river
21:54Muddy, muddy river
21:56Muddy, muddy river
21:58Muddy, muddy river
22:00Muddy, muddy river
22:02Muddy, muddy river
22:04Muddy, muddy river
22:06Muddy, muddy river
22:08Muddy, muddy river
22:10Muddy, muddy river
22:12Muddy, muddy river
22:14Muddy, muddy river
22:16Muddy, muddy river
22:18Muddy, muddy river
22:20Muddy, muddy river
