00:00Very clever chap, my friends, who has been a rather frequent guest here at Club 7.
00:04Well, and only because you folks seem to like him so very much.
00:07We do, too. We think he's a swell guy and a very wonderful performer.
00:11He has a wide scope and variety of different things he can do.
00:15And to show you some of that variety tonight, here he is back again with another of his wonderful sketches
00:19for you.
00:20His lordship, Lord Buckley.
00:32Ladies and gentlemen, I should do an impression of a great American and a great artist,
00:37Mr. Louis Armstrong, in his salutation in the tune to the lovely, the gorgeous, the divine, the charming, the delightful
00:45ladies.
00:48The number is Easter Bunny.
00:52In your Easter Bunny, with the crazy little things on it, you're going to be the sweetest one.
01:02I'll be all in Clovers, because when they look you over, they're going to say, look at that, look at
01:12that.
01:15I'll be all in Clovers, because when they look you over, they're going to say, look at that, look at
01:22that.
01:27I could write a sonnet, hmm, about your crazy little bonnet, ooh, but the cattle I'm takin'
01:36to, bobble to the East of Port Reds.
01:44The Royal Highnesses!
01:46Well, lovely ladies, we're going to play cab meeting now, I'm going to be the preacher,
01:50we're going to preach up a bit of the truth, we're going to do a thing called,
01:54when the saints go marching in, when the saints go marching in, I want to be in that number.
02:00Praise it, when the saints go marching in. Everyone, pick it up on the second course,
02:05and we're going to get some words.
02:07When the saints go marching in, when the saints go marching in, can you feel it?
02:16I want to be in that number.
02:21Hallelujah.
02:21When the saints go marching in.
02:25Thank you, children.
02:26Always, my friend.
02:27Hallelujah.
02:29Hallelujah.
02:33Hallelujah.
02:34Hallelujah.
02:35Hallelujah, sister!
02:38Hallelujah.
02:39Hallelujah.
02:41Hallelujah.
02:46The great master was sitting in his rosy rocking chair one hallelujah morning when he looked
02:50down and perceived in the fair city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, standing behind a drugstore
02:55counter with his arm into the till up to the elbow, a sinner, picking up on his righteous
03:03master's gold.
03:05Children, you know what the Lord did?
03:07The Lord looked down at the sinner and a smile came on the Lord's face.
03:12And he said, look at that little sinner, getting his kicks with those nickels and dimes.
03:19That's what the Lord said.
03:20But the Lord knew he couldn't allow the sinner to carry on in such a nefarious manner while
03:24the sinner would be getting in the great high rolling chairs, approaching the financial
03:28institutions, pushing the great guns into the face of the teller, dropping the loot and
03:32shooting south.
03:33So the great Lord lifted high his arm, brought it down, and said, sinner.
03:38And the sinner said, man, where's that music coming from?
03:41I don't feel no music around.
03:42I didn't hear no music around here before.
03:44So there never was any better.
03:45I know there's some here because I've got such a strange feeling running.
03:50Woo-wee.
03:53Morning, Lord.
03:55Morning, sinner, the Lord said.
03:56I said, Lord, you sure is looking groovy today.
03:59I never see you looking any sweeter than you look today.
04:02I said, thank you, sinner.
04:03I said, sinner.
04:03I said, yes, sinner.
04:04I said, what are you doing with your arms with a till up to the elbow, robbing your righteous
04:08master's gold when you say you're speaking the word of the Lord?
04:11He said, well, Lord, you see, it's my job to dust the money box, Lord.
04:14And I hit number six a little too quick and, boy, he came out and fascinated me, Lord.
04:19I said, sinner.
04:20I said, yes, Lord.
04:21I said, tell your master the truth.
04:23Why do you do it?
04:24I said, what am I doing messing on you?
04:26I said, what am I doing messing on you?
04:34The lover of all us little children, I guess, if he wasn't for poor little old beat-up sinners
04:43like me, Lord, you wouldn't have nothing to do, would you?
04:50And the Lord said, take a little and leave it.
04:54That's what the Lord said.
04:56Oh, I want to be in that number.
05:00Come on.
05:09Oh, yeah.
05:09Oh, yeah.
05:19Ah, Dick Buckley.
