Here's Dorothy Collins with a tender ballad that's in third place on the survey this week, If I Give My Heart to You. 🎵 If I give my heart to you Will you handle it with care? Will you always treat me tenderly? And in every way be fair? If I give my heart to you Will you give me all your love? Will you swear that you'll be true to me By the light that shines alone? And will you sigh with me when I'm sad? Smile with me when I'm glad And always be as you are with me tonight? Think it over and be sure Please don't answer till you do When you promise all these things to me If you promise all these things to me Then I'll give my heart to you 🎵 Applause And now let's go backstage and join Snooky Lansing. I'll bet Julia Meade knows more beauty tricks than Cleopatra did. Not that many, Snooky. Oh, wait a minute, Connie. The shampoo is showing. What, again? You know, my scalp's so dry. Well, maybe you're using the wrong shampoo. Why don't you try Richard Hudnott Enriched Cream Shampoo? It's a special shampoo with real powdered eggs. An egg is a natural beautifier for hair. You see how shiny clean it gets my hair? And you won't be bothered with any of this. With Richard Hudnott, your hair will gleam. And after any shampoo, use Richard Hudnott Cream Rinse. Until you've tried Cream Rinse, you can't realize what a wonderful difference it makes. There are no more snarls or tangles to comb through. It conditions your hair and gives it a smooth, glossy finish. So try them both. Richard Hudnott Enriched Cream Shampoo and Richard Hudnott Cream Rinse. Survey song number four. Snooky Lansing takes us back to the caveman days as he sings the number four melody, This Old House. This old house once knew his children. This old house once knew his wife. This old house was home and comfort as they fought the storms of life. This old house was ragged with laughter. This old house heard many shouts. Now it trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. Ain't a gonna need this house no more. Ain't got time to fix the shingles. Ain't got time to fix the floor. Ain't got time to oil the hitches or to mend the window panes. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. He's getting ready to meet the same. This old house is getting shaky. This old house is getting old. This old house lets in the rain. This old house lets in the cold. Oh his knees are getting chilly but he feels no fear of pain. Cause he sees an angel peeking through a broken window pane. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. Ain't a gonna need this house no more. Ain't got time to fix the shingles. Ain't got time to fix the floor. Ain't got time to oil the hitches or to mend the window panes. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. He's getting ready to meet the same. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. Ain't a gonna need this house no more. Ain't got time to fix the shingles. Ain't got time to fix the floor. Ain't got time to oil the hitches or to mend the window panes. Ain't a gonna need this house no longer. He's getting ready to meet the same. Ain't a gonna need this house no more. Number seven. Russell Arms sings the lilting tune that's in seventh place on the survey. I Need You Now. If I ever needed you, I need you now. I can't remember when I've ever been so blue. If I ever needed love, I need it now. I feel so all alone, I don't know what to do. No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry. I feel like I could die from wanting you. I can't ease my aching heart, but you'd know how. If I ever needed you, I need you now. No day or night goes by when I don't have my cry. I feel like I could die from wanting you. I can't ease my aching heart, but you'd know how. If I ever needed you, I need you now. Number two on the survey. Giselle McKenzie prescribes a musical sedative to the tune of Count Your Blessings Instead of She. When I'm worried and I can't sleep, I count my blessings instead of she. And I fall asleep counting my blessings. When my bankroll is getting small, I think of when I had none at all. And I fall asleep counting my blessings. I think about a nursery and I picture curly hair. And one by one I count them as they slumber in their bed. So if you're worried and you can't sleep, count your blessings instead of she. And you fall asleep counting your blessings. Thank you. Time for another Richard Hudnut Extra. Here's Dorothy Collins along with Raymond Scott's orchestra and that perennial favorite, Lover Come Back to Me. The sky was blue and high above. The moon was new, but so was love. This eager heart of mine was singing, lover where can you be? You came at last, love had its day. That day is past, you've gone away. And still this heart of mine keeps singing, lover come back to me. I remember every little thing you used to do. I'm so lonely. Every road I walk along, I've walked along with you. No wonder I am lonely. The sky is blue, the night is cold. The moon is new, but love is old. And while I'm waiting here, this heart of mine is singing, lover come back to me. I remember every little thing you used to do. I'm so lonely. Every road I walk along, I've walked along with you. No wonder I am lonely. The sky is blue, the night is cold. The moon is new, but love is old. And while I'm waiting here, this heart of mine is singing, lover come back, lover come back, lover come back to me. Lover come back, lover come back, lover come back to me. And here is a word from our co-sponsor, Lucky Strike. Friends, here's a wonderful Christmas gift for anyone who smokes.

Snooki Lanson steps into the winner spotlight with song number one, Mr. Sandman. Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Make her complexion like peaches and cream. Give her two lips like roses and clover. Then tell me that my lonesome nights are over. Mr. Sandman, I'm so alone. Don't have nobody to call my own. Please turn on your magic beam. Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Make her complexion like peaches and cream. Make her appear only in slumber. This fireman could use a red-hot number. Mr. Sandman, I'm so alone. Don't have nobody to call my own. Please turn on your magic beam. Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. Please, please, please, Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. So long, for a while.
