Jaques, I loved this! Thanks for contributing it. Funny, I recently saw a movie starring Betty Grable, Dan Daily, et al called 'Mother Wore Tights', and they sang this song. I also have heard it by Julie Andrews in The Star. I had no idea it goes back so far in time. I hope you will continue to post your favorites.
