Here is the BANNED version, vocal by Walter Brown, music by the Tiny  
Grimes Sextet. (circa 1947)

It was considered risque. Most radio stations would not play it. The  
record label then withdrew it from sales.

For the Count Basie (circa 1947) version go to Pirate station Radio  
Nord, link below:  (It hits at about 2 min and 20 sec)
