The Alka Seltzer Show, transcribed in Hollywood, featuring radio's favorite singing stars Kurt 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.
He's got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle, as he goes ridin' merrily along. And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you singin'? And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
Oh, Mary Ann, oh, Mary Ann, though we done some moonlight walkin', this is why I up and why I out.
He's got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle, as he goes ridin' merrily along. And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you singin'? And that song ain't so very far from wrong. So I jingle right along.
Go West, young man, go west. That's our slogan for today. However, a slight revision is called for in the case of our lovely Martha Tilton. It's go west, young lady, go west.
Well, I'll tell you, Kurt, I'll go as far west as the West Pico movie palettes. That's where they're showing that wonderful western picture, Shane. And here's one of Shane's tunes. It's called Eyes of Blue.
His eyes are blue, the clearest blue. I love to look in his eyes. It seems to be they comfort me. And troubles seem half their size. They smile at me. His eyes are blue. And everywhere there is spring.
I never sang of love before, but now my heart loves to sing. And when my heart grows fearful, he's my cheer. No longer am I fearful when I know he's near.
His eyes are blue, caress my heart and hold me close in their glance. And darkness turns to skies of blue. His eyes are blue, our romance.
I never sang of love before, but now my song fills the air. His eyes are blue, they smile at me. And love is everywhere.

In scene three of our Massey-Tilton western, the cowboy and the rancher's daughter are leaning against the old corral fence down there at old ranch, old Alka-Seltzer. And they both allow us how you can make a real cowpoke out of any tenderfoot.
Give a tenderfoot a horse, and let him make a friend of him. Teach him not to be afraid, or that'll be the end of him.
Let him learn to work in sweat, to roll a cigarette, to ride the range you bet he'll be a cowboy, yeah.
Let him wear his Levi's tie, and his jinx and chaps below. Let him learn to roll his hat, and to answer back real slow.
Give a tenderfoot a rope, and let him put a loop in it. When he brings a critter down, tie off without a droop in it.
When he's up on these routines, content with pork and beans, he'll know what living means, then he will be a man's man, a real cowboy.
Kurt, what in the world? What are you going to do with the long gray beard and fancy vest?
Well, that, partner, is for this next scene in our Western Picture. In real four, I play the part of an old-time gambling man who's kind of talking through his guitar, as it were.
Quiet, everyone. Lights, camera, and music, please, for Gambler's Guitar.
Tell of the hearts that this vagabond has broken, tell all the fun I've had, and tell of the loving and the laughing and the joking back when I was glad, back when I was glad.
Speak of the time when I took my biggest gamble, a game where hearts are high, and speak of the funny way my luck began to ramble when she caught my eye, when she caught my eye.
Tell all the folks that this life's a game of poker, a fool and his goal must part, but in this hectic world the biggest fool's a joker who gambles with his heart, who gambles with his heart.
That's the story of the Gambler's Guitar.
And now, Martha, as the movie makers say, at this point in our Western epic, we need conflict. The cowboy's sweetheart, that's you, has her bag all packed and she's waiting for the eastbound train.
I'm through carrying salt blocks out to the cows and I'm through with blue jeans and flannel shirts. I'm going to get me a job in Chicago and buy some pretty clothes at Marshall Fields.
East is east and west is west and the wrong one I've chose. Let's go where I'll keep on wearing those frills and flowers and buttons and bows, rings and things and buttons and bows.
Well, honey, if you want buttons and bows, we'll just send down Neiman Marcus down in Dallas. You can't leave Texas. Why, at roundup time, you'd be so homesick your little heart would break. When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage, then I long to be in Texas back a-riding on the rain.
I guess you all know the next scene. Cowboy gets girl. There they stand hand in hand as the sun sets over Texas and the evening breeze is to sign through the tumbling tumbleweeds.
See them tumble and down, pledging their love to the ground. Oh, liberty I'll be found, drifting along with the tumble and tumbleweeds.
Care that the past are behind, know where to go but I'll find, just where the trail will wind. Drifting along with the tumble and tumbleweeds.
I know when night has gone that a new world's born and dawn.
I'll keep rolling along, deep in my heart is a song, here on the range I belong. Drifting along with the tumble and tumbleweeds.
Maybe you say, one of these days I'm going to start taking vitamins. Well, that's smart. But don't put it off. You know vitamin shortage is one of the common causes of the low-power feeling.
So keep this in mind. One a day brand multiple vitamins correct vitamin shortage. Yes, they contain all you normally need to take of all the vitamins proved necessary. And they're so easy to take in small tablets that leave no unpleasant aftertaste.
So start today to take one a day. Ask your druggist for one a day brand multiple vitamin tablets, now with vitamin B12 added. They're high in quality and cost less than three cents a day when you buy the large package.
Hey, you know, Kurt, that was a pretty good Western that we ground out today. I wouldn't mind seeing it on the screen.
Well, I tell you, I'll let you know when it plays the palace, Martha. Now you know what time it is and what day it is.
Uh-huh. The time and day to say happy weekend, everybody.
That's right. We'll be back again on Monday, friends. Meantime, take care of yourself and be sure to take your family to church, won't you? Bye now. We'll see you Monday.
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. For you. For you.
