Mr President. [clears throat] On this occasion
-
of your birthday, this lovely lady is
-
not only pulchritudinous but punctual.
-
Mr President... Marilyn Monroe.
-
[applause]
-
[nervous laughter]
-
A woman about whom, [laughs]
-
it truly may be said she needs no introduction
-
and let me just say
-
[audience chuckles]
-
here she is!
-
[short drum roll]
-
but i'll give her an introduction anyway --
-
Mr President, because in the history of show business
-
perhaps there is no one female
-
who meant so much, who has done more--
-
[audience applauses]
-
Mr President... the late Marilyn Monroe.
-
[audience chuckles and claps]
-
[music swells]
-
[Marilyn sighs]
-
Marilyn: Happy birthday to you.
-
Happy birthday to you.
-
Happy birthday, Mr President.
-
Happy birthday to you!
-
Thanks, Mr President
-
for all the things you've done.
-
The battles that you've won.
-
The way you deal with US steel,
-
and our problems by the ton.
-
We thank you so much!
-
Everybody, happy birthday!
-
[music swells, continues and ends]
-
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,
-
the president of the United States.
-
[audience claps and cheers]
-
President Kennedy: Thank you.
-
I can now retire from politics after having had
-
happy birthday sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way.
