It is called "Mother Wore Tights" starring Betty Grable (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0039634/). In it, the youngest daughter of a Vaudeville family sings two verses of this song to entertain guests at a dull summer resort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-45715128988998618012014-03-19T10:54:34.653-04:002014-03-19T10:54:34.653-04:00Thanks for your comment, Anonymous March 18, 2014

Seems that she was also pushing a large circlular toy with a stick. I keep thinking it was in "Easy to Love" with Jane Powell, Ricardo Montalban, Debbie Reynolds, who I thought was the one I recalled seeing and hearing sing this song, Carlton Carpenter, Louis Calhern, and others. However, I've seen this movie many times on tv and it isn't in that movie. I'm wondering if was cut from the movie or if there was another similar movie and maybe even another young girl singing it in the movie. sure wish I could find it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-27830375409096026042014-01-02T15:44:03.265-05:002014-01-02T15:44:03.265-05:00Anonymous, thanks for your comment.
Your version ...Anonymous, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />Your version of the line might be closer to the earliest versions of that line. But, I'm not sure what the original version of that line is. That said, there are versions of this line online other than the version that you remember. <br /><br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-80301434088934557082014-01-02T15:29:54.392-05:002014-01-02T15:29:54.392-05:00The line following "My ma gave me a dollar to...The line following "My ma gave me a dollar to buy a collar" is "You shoulda heard her holler when I bought chew'n gum."
