interesting facts (click to see playlist of show on which fact was mentioned, if applicable):
- This song is from a longer piece variously known as "The Jewish My Fair Lady" or "My Fair Lady (Goldeneh Moments From Broadway)", in which Allan parodies the basic story and several songs from "My Fair Lady". Even though some of this was written circa 1957, more of it was written in 1962, and the recording was not made until 1962 (contrary to some sources which give an earlier date).
