First sung publically by Frawley (Yes, "Fred Mertz" on the I Love Lucy show). Three years later Walter Van Brunt (1 #1 and 40 Top 40s) took it to #9 for 1 week and 13 years after that Gene Austin (9 #1s and 55 Top 40s) took it to #3 and 8 weeks Top 40. In many theater productions this is the song sung by the overly intoxicated character.
