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 out 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)
