More about this title

Why we love this

This Depression-era standard carries genuine charm without relying on schmaltz, and the piano/vocal/chords format makes it equally useful for a singer with accompanist or a pianist developing jazz voicing skills. The song's playful lyric and accessible melodic line work beautifully in recitals, cabaret settings, or as a palate-cleanser in a mixed vocal program.

What to expect

The tune radiates a tongue-in-cheek optimism that feels both wistful and lighthearted. There's a wink beneath the surface, as if the singer knows the practicality of the sentiment even while delivering it with warmth and a touch of theatrical flair.

Who it's for

Singers preparing cabaret, jazz standards, or period-appropriate vocal recital repertoire will find this a natural fit. Pianists working in jazz or musical theater contexts can use the chord chart to develop comping and voicing skills while supporting a vocalist.

How to get the most out of it

  • Treat the chords as a starting point for improvisation rather than a strict harmonic blueprint. Jazz-informed pianists can comp underneath the vocal line while maintaining the song's light, conversational feel.
  • Keep the tempo buoyant but unhurried. The humor lands better when the accompanist resists rushing through the rhythmic figures.
  • Balance the vocal line so it sits comfortably above the piano texture without the accompaniment disappearing entirely; this song thrives on conversational intimacy between singer and player.

How to use it

Slot this into a cabaret or jazz standards program as a standalone number, or pair it with other American Songbook selections to create a thematic set exploring economic humor in Golden Age popular song. It also works well as an encore or as part of a musical theater revue.

Skills your students will build

  • Interpreting chord symbols and realizing accompaniments from lead sheets
  • Phrasing conversational, lyric-driven melodies with natural inflection
  • Balancing vocal projection with piano texture in an intimate performance setting
  • Developing jazz-inflected comping and improvisation at the keyboard
