I just made a copy of the other video from KZbin and this is the old description:
A VERY rare live television performance by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Most musical performances on TV in the 1950's were Milli Vanilli-esque lip-synched affairs so this is a real gem. Les and Mary perform "There's No Place Like Home" with some classic add libbing, especially from Les. Mary Ford was a fine guitarist in her own right and that fact is ably demonstrated here. Watch for when Les goes wild and breaks his high E string. Mary is about to punish him when... Well, watch the video. And, dig those gorgeous 1952 Gibson Les Paul guitars, heavily customized by the master himself. Trivia: Les shattered and almost lost his right arm in a 1948 car crash. Les had the doctors set his elbow at an angle so he could still play guitar but he could never again fully extend his right arm.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Barron / Feist
as recorded by
Les Paul & Mary Ford
I got a little wife, she's the joy of my life,
There's no place like home!
I got a little house that I call my own,
There's no place like home!
I come home at night from a hard day's work,
Meet six, seven kids with a face full o' dirt,
And they all go to sleep on the bosom of my shirt,
There's no place like home!
(now?)
(not now!)
Home, sweet sweet home,
There's no place like home!
When the relatives come to visit you,
There's no place like home!
They'll bring their trunks and stick like glue,
There's no place like home!
They'll take all the very best beds you got,
And you can sleep out in a broken old cot,
(everybody breathe!)
With a brother in law who's about half shot,
There's no place like home!
(now?)
(not yet!)
When the baby cries out in the middle of the night,
There's no place like home!
You search for medicine without any light,
There's no place like home!
You jump out o' bed on an upturned tack
And fly down the stairs in the middle of your back,
And your wife hollers out, "Oh hurry up Jack!",
There's no place like home!
Home, sweet sweet home,
There's no place like home!
With your wife's cold feet in the middle of your back,
(get ready!)
There's no place like home!
(that's it, that's it!)
