Comes the Dawn [1939]

At Conclusion of Ballet

At Conclusion of Ballet

(re-enter Herb (gloomily))

Herb

The race is over I've got the winner
My pockets are empty - may purse a skinner.
(He turns out trouser pockets)

Charlie

(amazed) Why didn't Import Control win.

Herb

Import Control! No, Gordon Huttor didn't give him.

Charlie

Help, I think I'm going to swoon!
If I'm not very careful I'll now myself down.

Evelyn

(to Herb) Well, tell us now who won the race
What's happened to this crazy place?

Herb

Social Security won the race!
I tell you it's going to set the town on fire!

All

You betcha!

Charlie

Social Security. Well it goes to show
You never, never, never know
I think before we go along
We'll sing the folks one final song.
