[edit] Wooden Shoe

It seems to me that the lyric is "wooden shoe" rather than "wouldn't you." The lyrics are meant to be "jumbled" early on and clarified later, so why would "real" words be included? "Wouldn't you" makes no sense within the context of the song. --Proudhug (talk) 01:22, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd think so too (also, based on the wikipedia article on "mondegreen"). BUT, the original sheet music does say "wouldn't you" - here's a scan: http://www.umkc.edu/lib/spec-col/ww2/warnews/mairzy.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.171.29 (talk) 16:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] in popular culture

this song was given a comic musical rendition by Laurel and Hardy, the clip of which appears in the 2007 film The Savages Dardura108 (talk) 07:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
