Ballin’ the Jack is oddly popular in films. It’s been performed by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in For Me and My Gal, by Dean Martin and Polly Bergen in That’s My Boy, by Danny Kaye in On the Riviera and on his album, Entertainer Extraordinary, sung by Gilda Radner and Dom Deluise (in drag!) in Haunted Honeymoon.

I met you in a garden in an old Kentucky town.
The sun was shining down.
You wore a gingham gown.
I kissed you as I placed a yellow tulip in your hair.
Upon my coat, you pinned a rose so rare.
Time has not changed your loveliness. You’re just as sweet to me.
I love you, yet I can’t forget the days that used to be.
Honey dear, want you near,
Just turn out the lights and then come over here!
Nestle close, up to my side,
My heart’s afire, with love’s desire
In my arms, rest complete,
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
‘Til I met you, some time ago,
But now you know,
I love you so!

The bells are ringing for me and my gal
The birds are singing for me and my gal
Everybody’s been knowing
To a wedding they’re going
And for weeks they’ve been sewing
Every Susie and Sal
They’re congregating for me and my gal
The Parson’s waiting for me and my gal
