I came here after "discovering" the song on a 1932 radio show of Anson Weeks and his Orchestra. I like the radio version better. Ethel's a bit much on this one.
Amusing that the Studio would spend good money producing short subjects to exploit songs, yet didn't even give credit to the song writers themselves! As Liberace once said, "I cry all the way to the bank." This is one of the last songs written by the illustrious triumvirate B.G. DeSylva, Lew Brown & Ray Henderson.
wow awesome -- today is Ethel's 100th Birthday and I put up a thread on imdb about it and someone posted a link to this. wonderful. But now I can't get this song outta my head!

Thanks for posting this.
The subtext for the lyrics is
really interesting!
Did you notice that when
the "convict cat" speaks -
he sounds like Groucho Marx?
This tune DOES stick in your head!
