[78-L] Rita in the Hay Worth ??

[Thomas Stern]

Hi David,
  Thanks for this information - It was not this recording, which was not one
I was familiar with.
  Wonder if what I recall and seem to have conflated with Danny Kaye, might
have been from a movie - Marx bros. perhaps ???
Cheers, Thomas.

It occurs in his introduction to the hipster's (weed-smokers) anthem that
he's just about to sing, which turns out to be Cement Mixer Put-ti Put-ti.
Something something something, also known as How Much is Rita in the Hay
Worth. (Haven't heard that thing in ages!)
