Ballin’ the Jack lyrics, music by Chris Smith, lyrics by Jim Burris

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.
