Sung by Dick Powell to Gloria Stuart. This is a montage of scenes of Stuart shopping for everything from lingerie to jewelry. Much to the dismay of her penny-pinching mother, Alice Brady!
Song lyrics to I Can’t Dance (I Got Ants in My Pants) (1934) music by Clarence Williams, lyrics by Charles Gaines, performed in Meet the People
Now, let’s go walking,
Let’s go walking,
Out the park,
Out the park,
I’m not responsible
I’m not responsible
What I do after a dark!
What I do after a dark!
Bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep, bloop, bleep
The faucet keeps a-drippin’ and I can’t sleep
Bleep, bloop, bleep, bloop, bloopbloop, bleep
I guess I never should’ve ordered clam soup
A babbitt met a bromide on the avenue one day,
And held a conversation in their own peculiar way;
They both were solid citizens, they both had been around,
And as they spoke you clearly saw their feet were on the ground!

Snow
It won’t be long before we’ll all be there with snow
Snow
I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow
Snow
I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow
Snow
Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow
Oooo… ooo…
Oooo… ooo
Oooo… ahhh
Where walks my true love?
Where does she wander?
We may be dreams apart
Or just a smile away
