Just a minute, I'll be right there. Come in. Terry Thomas? Tom Terry from Computer Date. Yes, that's right. Hi. Hi. Oh, here. I'm awfully glad to meet you. How do you do? Fine, fine. Gee, it was nice talking to you on the phone. Oh, please, Tom, sit down. Oh, thank you. Can I get you something to drink? Yeah. Oh, sure.
Good. What can I get you? Oh, gee, I don't know. How about a drink? Sherry, maybe. Oh. It's all I have. Oh, I shouldn't have asked you. It's all I drink. So it's all right. Well, it's about all I drink, too. Dream what you know. Know what you drink. I always say. Hey, that's one of my favorite sayings. Oh? Yeah. Here you go, Tom. Careful. No, I got that one a little full. Yeah, I know. Well, Tom, tell me. Have you ever done anything like this before? No. Actually, it was kind of an experience. I haven't had any idea. I just sort of filled it out and sanded it in. You see what would happen. You know what I mean? That's exactly what I did. I just read about it in the Friday, Oregonian. Yeah, right there in the leisure section. Well, I just sort of thought it'd be a weird thing to do. So... Do you ski? I ski. Do you ski?
Did you ask me? Yeah. Do you? Oh, good. None of that downhill stuff, though. Strictly cross country for me. Well, Tom, did you have anything a special plan for us tonight? Well, yeah, I thought maybe a movie. Oh, fine, fine. There's this one movie I've been wanting to see now for a long time now. That's what I have tickets for. Well, that's what I have tickets for. You've got tickets. Well, yeah, the lines are awfully long. So I thought I'd better know it. Yeah, I'd like tickets for you. Now, you know, Terry, this movie's got a lot of violence in it. Oh, I know, Tom. Now myself, strictly speaking, I am anti-violence. I mean, I would mark you. I'd be right behind you. But I really want to see this movie because I'm Martin Brandt. Martin Brandt is really great. Yeah, isn't he good? Oh, yeah, he's the best. I've seen all of his movies. Especially, I love the guy. Oh, the Godfather's the best. One of them movies made. Oh, Tom, why don't you tell me something about yourself? Oh, there's nothing really much to it. I haven't an unusual hot.
Hey, what is it? Well, I collect Australian butterflies. By the eyes. Do you have the kangaroo mark? Monarch. Tom, that one's really rare. I know. Of course, I've had my collection since I was 13. One of those? Sure, why not? Where are you parked? Oh, right out front. Oh, how did you get a parking place right out front? Well, I drive this real tiny car and I parked in a yellow zone. Tom, this is really silly, but I have a small car too. Oh. In fact, it's a highly unusual small car. Oh, mine too. I have a 1964 Porsche Super 90 car relay model. In yellow. With a ski rack. Oh, this is getting strange. I'll wait up too far. Come on. Salmador going. Salmanchantini.
How did you do that? You don't do that? Oh, I can't do that. Since I was two, I know that. Oh, Tom, this is wonderful. No, no, no. It takes all kinds. Ladies and gentlemen, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, New Orleans, all these great cities have well-known songs
to help keep their memory green. Tonight, the President proudly presents a tuned for parade of songs in a memory-jogging tribute to some of America's not-so-well-known cities in towns. Settle back. Enjoy. As the President takes you on a pleasant stroll down the back alleys of some of the good old USA's lesser-known villages and talents. What kind of town is this? A charming picture book? It's not New York, Chicago, Paris, London. It's still a mark. What kind of jobs are here? Just tell me, please. They don't make cars or clothes or cameras. They make trees. One sort of friends are here. My ever-faithful wife.
They've all deserted me and left me here to live my life. They've called me every name from dope to crazy schnook. But I will live and die right here in terror. On a clear day, you can see Milwaukee when the fog clears our way. On a clear day, when you're in Milwaukee, it's a one-day sunshine, the 14th of May, when it's misty. And your hair is such a wrap.
Just walk out, look up, and feel that clear day driving down your neck. Just drive to hills. Borough, I said hills, borough. You can meet our charming sheriff every day. You'll find he's real. They're all wild and hills, borough. If you're speeding, he gets greedy. And you'll really pay with all those crops. You're rolling at that cash roll. It's the finest little town since way back west. Mark your maps, fellas. Just be the radar traps, fellas. Way your row, fellas. You're got a horse, bro, fellas. There's more wants to see you all.
There's more wants to see you all. There's more wants to see you all again. You'll find that it's a pleasant place to live in. Come visit us, but please don't take the bus. Just grab the nearest taxi and be driven to that quite exotic, not heroic town. Call the clock. Say, I just noticed something. That big white house down the street there looks empty. Isn't that where Alfred and Dolores Hill used to live? Yeah, that's right. Mr. and Mrs. Hill. I thought so. Mr. Hill got a much better job. So they have been moved out of the old area here. You know, more money will make you do crazy things. Do you wonder where they moved? Well, dear. If you'd really like to know, I'll tell you. Who got a hint of a ride down in Lake Oswego?
They moved into town with a great big splash. Who in feels coming to town in Lake Oswego? But he'll spend the credit goods just by cash. They're well-managed sun wants to buy a new Thunderbird and his father feels no guilt. He'd rise in the car and he won't say a word though he's mortgage to the hill. Their elegant culture is popular too. For the boys who are going down hill, she sleeps all around. No, she's not even taking the pill. Peel from the hill from the ride down in Lake Oswego.
They've grown many peas, but they still want more. But most everyone down in Lake Oswego is so rich and poor. I'll take your tired thoughts into fashion when you wander way out to Gresham, when you wander way out to Gresham. It's a real smart move. Well, folks are nowhere. I come from and girls are kind of sick too. Some are bad, some are good. I live in out in Hollywood. I live in out in Hollywood. I live in out in Hollywood.
Here we go. Come where your life is. Algilator and gold. Come be your wealth there, come walk. All that it takes is a well-ficored In our agency to show up. Come by your house. Come by your home. Come spend your dough, that's a real euphoric I live in a town historic. Come out, enjoy all of the sights and the smells. Take our deep breath and then Oh wait for the summer to win to shifter
And that's when Westland will get glad to rifter I've already got the city trend. Our one-year-old tribute to America's Lots of great cities continues. Let us leave for you now an unforgettable story of such diverse cities. Of our magnificent river, the Willamette Cities on the west slope at reek of glory And that is why this tribute is most aptly titled The West Side Story. We like to be out and be verred. So much to say out and be verred.
Nothing is fair to be verred. I live on my tree out and be verred. I live here in the city toward my square. Everyone thinks children turn eggs. Everyone works at tectronics. Life is so free but it's daily. Almost like bottom and daily life. You like it too much and be verred. Everything you want to be verred. Almost like you want to be verred. Nothing to do I can be verred. Could it be? Yes, it could. Move to Westland. You'll feel good. Really, you will. Westland is the city for you. Everything new. I ought to hear. If you look all around, houses never touch the ground. Too many dads. What's up people? Sharing their lives. Swamping their lives. Dabble and sex.
Tiger's pretty. You're so pretty. Tiger's city is pretty and right. It's a beauty. That the mayor wasn't here too long. Tiger's city is kind of pretty. It's a beauty. Everyone has a kitty or cow. Uncomity. Should be organized with these things up. Sing a pretty poodles and peekin' these. It's a pretty animal's grill. It's a pretty animal. Yes, it's a pretty godly. Tiger's pretty. It's my city. I won't move away. As I chose for a German chef today. Scat poos. Scat poos.
I love it in scat poos. Through where all my friends and family stay. Scat poos. Scat poos. And where everyone is lost. Everyone has their fun every day. Scat poos. A friendly little city. Where everyone is pretty. In fact, it's pretty dull. That's all the fun feelings. And let me look like us in scat poos. Scat poos. Aloha. I just bought a farm in Aloha. Two tractors and a plow. Six acres and a cow with hay. Aloha.
I just bought a farm in Aloha. I never thought I could chop seven cords of wood each day. Aloha. Say it loud. It's a precious bubble. Say it soft or my taxes will double. Aloha. I just bought a farm in Aloha. Aloha. Aloha. Aloha. There's a place for us. Just take the trimet bus. No more headaches and no more pills. Move to Raleigh Hill.
All the people there. When whispered when they swear. Raleigh Hill says the place we said. It's so quiet you'll think you're dead. Raleigh Hill. Raleigh Hill. Raleigh Hill. And now we have just one great city left to sing about. And we've saved the best for last. From Doug at the drums. From Stan at the piano. From Caroline. From Tom. From Cheryl and most especially from Robert. Here's the end of our show. I just want to say I need to go. I need to go.
I need to go. I need to go. I need to go. I need to go. I need to go. I need to go. For a while one final message what you know is true. How long here is that tribute? It's straight from the present tense. How long all these places to see makes much sense. For them is just right for me and for you. Thank you.
