hey, did you hear that, colonel?
well, it was mebefore i said i was gonna jump off the city hall roof at midnight on christmas eve. now, i guess i'm not average any more. now, i'm getting all sorts of attention, from big shots, too.
he's the man the ads are written for. he's the fella everybody sells things to. he's joe doakes, the world's greatest stooge and the world's greatest strength.
because we're the people and we're tough!
but we've all got to get in there and pitch! we can't win the old ball game unless we have team work. and that's where every john doe comes in! it's up to him to get together with his teammate!
now, you can't be a stranger to any guy that's on your own team. so tear down the fence that separates you, tear down the fence and you'll tear down a lot of hates and prejudices! tear down all the fences in the country and you'll really have teamwork!
i know a lot of you are saying to yourselves: "he's asking for a miracle to happen. he's expecting people to change all of a sudden." well, you're wrong. it's no miracle. it's no miracle because i see it happen once every year. and so do you. at christmas time! there's something swell about the spirit of christmas, to see what it does to people, all kinds of people . . .
why, look, i'm just a mug and i know it. but i'm beginning to understand a lot of things. why, your type's old as history. if you can't lay your dirty fingers on a decent idea and twist it and squeeze it and stuff it into your own pocket, you slap it down! like dogs, if you can't eat something, you bury it!
stick to your clubs!
