We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
Pat Boone joined them shortly And approved of the plan —
“Next to iny family,
I think, comes the fan.
I just wrote a book
Called ‘Twixt Twelve and Twenty’ —
I’ll sign it and guarantee
It’ll tell them all plenty.”
“The same goes for me,” Elvis Presley joined in, “Without the fans rooting You never could win.
I’ll give my old pal,
Who’s a large teddy-bear — He kind of looks like me ’Cept he has more hair.”
Dick Clark gestured wildly, “I’ve got just the thing —
An album of pictures Of all those who sing.
I’ll see they are autographed They’d like that — the fans — Plus I’ll wrap all the presents With my own little hands.”
George Nader looked thoughtful,
“It came into my head The fans will be sure I meant what I said,
If I offer the locket
That means I’m ready for ‘Hooking’ —
To let them all know
That I haven’t stopped looking.”
Jerry Lewis dropped by,
“I’m late and I’m sorry” —
They gave him the pitch And he grinned at their story.
“For the fans nothing’s too good. On this I don’t spoof,
So they won’t be late like me How’s a watch — waterproof?”
Rick and Dave agreed The idea was great —
“Cause, George, you’re not married And it’s still not too late.
So we’ll donate a camera That some gal can use —
Then send you her picture Maybe it’s her you’ll choose.”
Then they made out their list Spending half of the day —
And sent it to us Here at old Photoplay.
With this added message:
“None of us can rhyme.
But to all — Merry Christmas And a great ’59.”
