The Alka Seltzer Show, transcribed in Hollywood, featuring radio's favorite singing stars,
Kay Massey and Martha Tilton, with the music of Country Washington.
It's Alka Seltzer Time, Alka Seltzer Time.
Morning, noon and night, it's Alka Seltzer Time.
I'm Kurt.
I'm Martha.
And here we go with the Alka Seltzer Show.
Alka Seltzer Time.
Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worry on the doorstep.
Just direct your feet to the sunny side of the street.
Can't you hear a pitter-patter?
And that happy tune is yours still.
Life can be so sweet on the sunny side of the street.
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade.
But I'm not afraid.
Let's go over, crossed over.
If I never have a set, I'll be rich as rock and ten.
Go dust at my feet on the sunny, on the sunny side of the street.
Yes sir.
And that's where Martha and I are going to stay through the whole show today on the sunny side.
No doubt about it, Kurt.
That's the best medicine in the world, to look on the bright side of things,
even if you have to pretend a little.
Pretend you're happy when you're blue.
It isn't very hard to do.
And you'll find happiness without an end, whenever you pretend.
Remember, anyone can dream, and nothing's bad as it may seem.
The little things you haven't got could be a lot if you'd pretend.
You'll find a love you can share, one you can call all your own.
Just close your eyes, he'll be there.
You'll never be alone.
And if you sing this melody, you'll be pretending just like me.
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend.
So why don't you pretend?
Pretend you're happy when you're blue.
It isn't very hard to do.
The world is mine, it can be yours, my friend.
If you will just pretend.
She's the apple of my eye, me oh my, me oh my.
Can she bake an apple pie, that's the question.
She can bake an apple pie, but I cannot tell a lie.
It was her pie that gave me acid and digestion.
Uh oh, that could be the end of a beautiful romance.
But let's trust the lady in question knew what to do for acid upset stomach.
For fast relief, be wise. Alkalize with Alka-Seltzer.
Yes, Alka-Seltzer reduces excess stomach acidity with instant alkalizing action.
And those sparkling Alka-Seltzer bubbles soothe and settle an unsettled stomach with gentle action.
Just drop an Alka-Seltzer tab or the two into a glass of water and let it fizz into a bubbling solution and drink it for fast relief.
Yes, enjoy that feel better feeling you get with speedy Alka-Seltzer.
And so that you're not without Alka-Seltzer this weekend, why not check your supply today.
You can get Alka-Seltzer at any drug store, by the glass at the fountain and by the package at the counter.
Ask for Alka-Seltzer Fast Relief from acid indigestion.
Now if we may restate our philosophical premise for the day, let's see.
How can we sum it up in a few words, Martha?
We don't have to, Kurt. Johnny Mercer has done it for us. Accentuate the positive.
Why, sure.
You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mr. In-Between.
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum, bring blue down to the minimum, have faith, a pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene.
To illustrate that last remark, Jonah and the whale, Noah and the ark, what did they do just when everything looked so dull?
Man, they said you better accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative, don't mess with Mr. In-Between.
No, don't mess with Mr. In-Between.
Martha, here's a wonderful new song that fits right into our campaign for positive thinking.
Well, good. Let's hear it, Kurt.
Well, it's a little on the serious side, and a good thought to cling to when things go wrong and worries pile up.
Always remember that this too shall pass away.
The stormy clouds that hide the sun.
This too shall pass away.
The shadows falling one by one.
This too shall pass away.
The lonely bells that chime for those who know the pain of parting.
This too shall pass in time.
And I'll behold the empty dreams that fill the night.
This too shall pass away.
Beyond the darkness there's a light.
That brings the hope of day. Your heart can borrow on that tomorrow.
So when your world is bleak and cold, be brave, be patient, and behold.
This too shall pass, shall pass away.
Applause
And let's not forget the old time chin lifters, Kurt. There's a million of them in the memory book.
Look for the silver lining, pack up your troubles, let a smile be your umbrella, and oh, here's one that always cheers me up.
Forget your troubles and just get happy. You better chase all your cares away.
Sing hallelujah, come on, get happy. Get ready for the judgment day.
The sun is shining, come on, get happy. The Lord is waiting to take your hand.
Shout hallelujah, come on, get happy. We're going to the promised land.
Oh, dandy Martha, dandy. Here's another way to chase the blues away.
Where skies are cloudy and gray. They're only gray for a day.
So wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away.
Until that sunshine peeps through, there's only one thing to do.
Wrap your troubles in dreams and dream your troubles away.
This is no day for Johnny Ray, Kurt. We don't allow no crying or sighing. We got no room for bloom.
No, sir. There we have Blue Note today. If you like sad songs, you'll have to
Save your sorrow for tomorrow. Smile a while today.
Work is play to anyone that hums. Live today, tomorrow never comes.
If you cheer up, skies will clear up. Clouds will pass away.
Save your sorrow for tomorrow. Smile a little smile today.
And your sorrow soon will pass away.
Alka Seltzer, speedy Alka Seltzer.
Enjoy that feel better feeling. When a headache happens along to slow you down, remember speedy Alka Seltzer for fast relief.
Just drop one or two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water. Let it fizz and there it is.
Alka Seltzer is ready to go to work as soon as you drink it. In fact, tests prove the system absorbs more of the pain reliever faster from Alka Seltzer.
And gentle Alka Seltzer has thousands of tiny bubbles that help the pain reliever on its way.
Next time a headache gets you down, get that feel better feeling with speedy Alka Seltzer.
Now enjoy that feel better feeling. The feel better feeling that Alka Seltzer brings.
When a headache gets you down, Alka Seltzer goes to town, Alka Seltzer.
Well, how'd we do with our positive thinking? Is everybody happy?
Well, if not, it sure isn't our fault, Kurt. We did our Pollyanna best.
Well, friends, we hope that all those cheery tunes start you off on a happy weekend.
Martha and I'll be around again on Monday. And between now and then, enjoy yourself, take care of yourself, and be sure to take your family to church, won't you?
Bye now, until next week.
Same time, same station.
We'll sing the old song.
We'll sing the new.
We'll sing the bright songs.
And maybe we'll sing the blues on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, too.
For you.
Have you ever felt out of step, just can't seem to get into the swing of things?
Well, a vitamin shortage is one of the common causes of a dull, listless feeling.
So take one a day, Brian, multiple vitamin tablets.
They supply all you normally need to take, of all the vitamins proved necessary.
And they're in tablet form, easy to take with no unpleasant aftertaste.
Also, they now contain vitamin B12.
It's easy to take and pleasant to take, one a day, Brian, multiple vitamin tablets.
Take them regularly, not just once in a while, but every day.
Get one a day, Brian, multiple vitamin tablets at any drugstore.
