MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS:
Good morning, Good morning
I'm Mrs Vernon-Williams, president of the Baltimore Women's club, and welcome to the Baltimore heath department's first ever Anti-Polio Picnic and vaccination carnival! (Yay!)

ALL:
It's a beautiful day for an anti-polio picnic! (Picnic!)
It's a beautiful day to get a polio shot!
A brave new world's in store
For picturesque post-war Baltimore

MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS:
And if you value the use of your legs

All:
You came to the right spot

MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS (Spoken):
I'm proud to say that the Baltimore women's club has come out against Polio by a vote of 56-8! (Yay!)

ALL
What a wonderful time to be a teenage conformist! (conformist!)
What a wonderful time to be what's known as a square (We are square!)
We're lucky to be us
So happy and homogeneous

MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS:
But still one must take care for danger's lurking
ALL:
Everywhere!

BALDWIN:
Oh we know Miss VW, you can't be too careful!

ALL:
We watch for communists
Keep tabs on UFOs
Steer clear of weirdos
And beardos
And beatniks


MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS:
And what else, God only knows!

ALL:
We frown on potty mouth
We don't wear skimpy clothes (No! No!)
We avoid all temptation
We combat modern scourges
We repress all our lustful and primitive urges


MRS VERNON-WILLIAMS (Spoken):
And my Granddaughter Allison will present, in his iron lung, the mascot of our carnival and Baltimore's polio poster boy of the year, brave little Skippy Wagstaffe!
Skippy (Spoken):
Thanks everybody, I sure wish I could have gotten that shot

ALL:
So come on along to the Anti-Polio Picnic (Anti-Polio Picnic!)
Come on along and protect yourself from disease (ow...Disease!)
You're going to be fine, just do what you're told and tow the line
You got to watch your step in times like these (Yes!)
You got to watch your step in times like these-
