Last week, on the radio, I heard this song. It’s best known as a Groucho Marx song and I know it from my favourite film, The Philadelphia Story*. Russell Davis recalled that Groucho was a great fan of Gilbert and Sullivan and this is apparently what the writer of the song latched onto, I think it’s glorious..

This is Groucho doing the whole thing…

This is the clip from The Philadelphia Story

*and you should go and find the film and watch it, Cary Grant, James Stewart and Katharine Hepburn all at the height of their powers…so good.
