This is another Screen Song where the animation is almost treated as incidental.

As far as Screen Songs go, this one is fairly interesting and reasonably good. But I can't help feeling as though the cartoon was an afterthought. It's a decent job, but I suspect it would have been much better if it got the full treatment, instead of being an addition for time requirements. The animation and the song don't fit well together at all. Worth watching nonetheless. Ethel Merman is in fine form here and the cartoon portion is fun. In print and available. Recommended.
