Nobody said who wrote the song. I'm 90% sure it's by "cosmotheca" a fantastic old english group. Try & find the album "wines & spirits" its one of the most interesting old albums you'll ever hear.
Come on and...hop! I had this song playing in my head as a kid long after seeing this movie...a hilarious, fun movie that has finally came out on dvd...a must have for any Wilder/Feldman/Kahn fan (or anyone who loves fun comedy!).
When I first saw this movie in the '70s I wasn't sure if this was an actual old song, or a new one which was meant to sound old. Now I know it dates from 1913, which I think is some years after when this movie was set in. Very amusing nonetheless.
Marty Feldman makes a very good kangaroo, doesn't he?
Delightful daftness!

Written by Fred Godfrey in 1912, George Gershwin later wrote a similar tune with the same title.
