Luana Wells : [singing] When we parted I was satisfied to let you go, But, it's hard, to get you off my mind, Now I'm learning to regret the day I let you go, You left a million memories behind, Those ashes on the floor, The way you slam the door, I miss them when the day is through, When I sit alone, I think of you, And the little things you used to do...

Al Howard : [singing in blackface] If you've been singing a sad and blue song, Say, go into your dance, Until you learn how to sing a new song, Go into your dance, Don't be complaining, Learn how to smile, And if its raining, Dance in the rain awhile, Put off your sorrow, Until tomorrow, Go into your dance, You can do it! Go into your dance...
-
Al Howard : Boys and girls, get in your wardrobes. The show is going on!
