Johhny Mercer sang it on an early Capitol side and he wrote a first 
churus lyric that was typical cool Mercer take. The fog of time keeps my 
memory from letting it come to the front but I remember it as "Your some 
pretty, oh so pretty, you're some pretty chile." It talked of the child 
being younger and his mama saying he as pretty... "But the I grew up and 
this is what I get..." or something along that line. Bet our Ozian 
archivist Bill H. has it, or someone else with more active "little gray 
cells!"
