If you’re like me, you’re probably totally stressed, looking forward to that moment Tuesday night when (hopefully) the networks announce that we haven’t elected a fascist after all. So, consider this a stress reliever.
Anyway, this is one that I remember quite distinctly. It was an oldie when I was a kid. It teaches an important life lesson, has some cameos by Bing Crosby and (I think) Bob Hope, and some other guy who was probably famous in the early 40s, but is now largely forgotten. Anyway, I loved the song, and definitely didn’t want to grow up to be a pig, though I can think of a lot of people that would say I’ve definitely grown up to be a mule.
I recommend overlooking the little dash of (probably unintended) racism in the lyrics of the opening song. It was the forties, and at least it wasn’t directed against anyone in this country.
