This number had to be staged by Bob Fosse. The costumes and the choreography is so Fosse.

@pithair1 .The number was staged by Sylvia Lewis who also staged and performed this and "Cielito Lindo" from the same episode.

Sylvia Lewis is so beautiful to watch over and over again........such a delight!

[TheBruinsFan17]

they both are just so beautiful and cute in this I cant take it. I'm 26 and I've been forced to think Britney Spears and Lady Gaga are talented and gorgeous. I truly was born in the wrong era.

I think Peggy Lee wrote the song. I know she recorded it. I was in Junior High when the Van Dyke show came on and I had a real crush on Mary, though she was an ''older woman,'' but I believe Ms. Lewis was a slightly better dancer based on this clip.

Every time I see this I wonder why ewe have not heard or seen more of Sylvia Lewis over the years ......... she just strikes me as an absolute treasure of beauty, talent, and class! And I am sure that I am not the only one that feels that way!!!!!

A beautiful sense of life expressed and conveyed.

"The New Rochelle Parents' Council." Wouldn't it be wonderful if there really were such a thing?

[straypooch]

@pithair1 I see your point, though. It really looks Fosse-like.

I have to do this thing in my chorus class in school to this song, it's a little different like the song but it's really fun
