The Alka Seltzer Show, transcribed in Hollywood, featuring radio's favorite singing stars
Kurt Massey and Martha Tilton, 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.
You know friends, right now in Hawaii they're celebrating the island's
guest and most colorful festival, Aloha Week.
So it seems apropos to begin the show with a Massey Tilton salute to the land of the
red hibiscus.
Down high, away away, where it tends to stray,
On an evening I heard a hula lay in play,
Yakahula, hickadoola, yakahula, hickadoola.
Down high, away away, by the moonlit name,
When I lingered awhile she stole my heart away,
Yakahula, hickadoola, yakahula, hickadoola.
I'm coming back to you, my hula,
And beside you see it by kiki, you play for me,
And once again you sway my heart away,
With your yakahula, hickadoola tune.
To you, sweetheart, aloha, aloha,
From the bottom of my heart,
Keep the smile on your lips,
Brush the tears from your eyes,
One more aloha, then it's time for goodbye,
To you, sweetheart, aloha, aloha,
In dreams I'll be with you dear tonight,
And I'll pray for that day when we too will meet again,
Until then, sweetheart, aloha, aloha, aloha.
Honika'ula, wiki wiki, sweet brown maiden said to me,
As she gave me language lessons on the beach at Waikiki,
Honika'ula, wiki wiki, she then said and smiled in glee,
But she would not translate for me on the beach at Waikiki,
Honika'ula, wiki wiki, she was surely teasing me,
And so I caught that maiden and kissed her on the beach at Waikiki,
Honika'ula, wiki wiki, you have learned it perfectly,
Don't forget what I have taught you, said the little huda maiden on the beach at Waikiki.

Hey, Kurt, why don't you sing a nice bright happy song like Hey Joe?
Happy song? Yeah, I guess it is for everybody but poor Joe.
He's about to lose his gal.
Hey Joe, where'd you find that pearly girly?
Where'd you get that dolly dolly?
How'd you rate that dish I wish was mine?
Hey Joe, she's got skin that's creamy dreamy,
eyes that look so loppy doppy, lips as red as cherry berry wine.
Now listen Joe, I'm not a heel, but old buddy let me tell you how I feel.
She's a honey, she's a sugar pie, I'm warning you I'm gonna try to steal her from you.
Hey Joe, though we've been the best of friends, this is where the friendship ends,
I gotta have that dolly for my own.
Now come on Joe, let's make a deal, let me dance with her to see if she's real.
She's the cutest girl I've ever seen, I tell you face to face I mean to steal her from you.
Hey Joe, we'll be friends until the end, this looks like the end my friend,
I gotta have that dolly for my own, yes I want her for my very own.
And now if you'll be kind enough to lower the mic a little, I'd like to sing a love song.
With pleasure Martha, with pleasure.
Unless you've changed your mind since rehearsal, it's going to be my love, my love.
That's right.
Who makes the raven sing?
My love, my love.
Who brings the joy to spring?
Who else but you, my love.
Who makes my poor heart cry?
My love, my love.
Whose eyes are stars on high.
None else but you, my love.
As sweet as morning mist, are the lips that heaven kissed.
As endless as the sea, is the love that he gave to me.
And what have I to give?
My love, my love.
As long as I shall live, you'll always be my love.
You'll always be my love.
Love, love. Isn't it wonderful while it lasts?
Why Kurt, you sound cynical. I'm surprised at you.
Well now, don't be Martha. I just had to say something like that to get us into a tune
which describes the utter misery of it all, when love goes wrong.
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right, this one thing I know.
When love goes wrong, a man takes flight, a woman gets uppity old.
The sun don't blink, the moon don't shine, the tide don't ebb and flow.
Well a clock won't strike and a match won't lie, when love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
The blues all gather round you, day as dark as night.
A man ain't fit to live with, and a woman is a sorry sight.
It's like I said, you're better off dead, when love has lost its glow.
So take this down in black and white, when love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
Well it's like I said, you're better off dead, when love has lost its glow.
So take this down in black and white, when love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right, when love goes wrong, there's very little left, that's why.
Nothing goes right.
