The Anti-Polio Picnic

[00:06.61] Good morning, good morning!
[00:08.51] I'm Mrs. Vernon-Williams
[00:09.94] President of the Baltimore Women's Club
[00:12.06] And welcome to the Baltimore Health Department's
[00:14.72] First Annual Anti-Polio Picnic
[00:17.42] And vaccination carnival!
[00:21.93] It's a beautiful day for an anti-polio picnic (picnic)
[00:28.11] It's a beautiful day
[00:29.97] To get a polio shot
[00:34.42] A brave new world's in store
[00:37.64] For picturesque post-war Baltimore
[00:41.03] And if you value the use of your legs
[00:44.08] You've come to the right spot
[00:48.05] I'm proud to say
[00:49.39] That the Baltimore Women's Club
[00:50.64] Has come out against polio
[00:52.89] By a vote of 56 to eight! (Yay!)
[00:58.17] What a wonderful time
[00:59.88] To be a teenage conformist (conformist)
[01:04.58] What a wonderful time
[01:06.20] To be what's known as a square (We are square)
[01:11.33] We're lucky to be us
[01:13.97] So happy and homogeneous
[01:17.36] But still one must take care
[01:19.77] For danger's lurking everywhere
[01:24.11] Oh, we know, Mrs. V-W
[01:25.64] You can't be too careful!
[01:27.32] We watch for communists
[01:30.67] Keep tabs on UFOs
[01:33.61] Steer clear of weirdos
[01:35.55] And beard-os
[01:36.38] And beatniks
[01:37.13] And what else? God only knows
[01:39.99] We frown on pottymouth
[01:43.15] We don't wear skimpy clothes
[01:47.06] We avoid all temptation
[01:48.91] Combat modern scourges
[01:50.48] Suppress all our lustful and primitive urges
[01:55.47] And now
[01:56.39] My granddaughter, Allison
[01:58.51] Will present, in his iron lung
[02:00.70] The mascot of our carnival
[02:02.82] And Baltimore Polio Poster Boy of the Year
[02:06.49] Brave little Skippy Wagstaffe!
[02:10.86] Thanks, everybody!
[02:12.12] I sure wish I could've gotten that shot!
[02:16.34]
[02:18.83] So, come on along
[02:20.35] To the anti-polio picnic (anti-polio picnic)
[02:25.50] Come on along
[02:26.62] And protect yourself from disease (Ew! Disease!)
[02:31.44] You're going to be fine
[02:34.60] Just do what you're told
[02:36.34] And toe the line
[02:37.52] You've got to watch your step in ties like these (Yes!)
[02:44.97] You've got to watch your step (step, step, step, step)
[02:52.01] In times like
[02:54.93]
