This Is Only the Beginning - Harpers Bizarre

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)
