Performed on the I Love Lucy episode, Mertz and Kurtz
In the land of San Domingo
Lived a girl called Oh By Jingo
From the fields and from the marshes
Came the young and oh by goshes
They all spoke with a different lingo
But they all loved Oh By Jingo
and every night, they sang in the pale moonlight
Oh by gee by gosh by gum by Jove
Oh By Jingo won’t you hear our love
We will build for you a hut
You will be our favorite nut
We will have a lot of little Oh By Gollies
And we’ll put them in the follies
Safe
You’re out
Foul ball
Nobody loves the ump
He’s the apple of nobody’s eye
Nobody loves the ump
And I’ll never know , never know why
Down in the valley
Valley so low
Late in the evenin’
Hear the train blow
Hear the train blow, love
Hear the train blow
Late in the evenin’
Hear the train blow
In addition to the I Love Lucy episode Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress, Lucille Ball also performed Friendship in the movie DuBarry Was a Lady, starring Gene Kelly, Lucille Ball, Red Skelton

If you’re ever in a jam, here I am
If you’re ever in a mess, S-O-S
If you ever feel so happy, you land in jail; I’m your bail.
It’s friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
When other friendships have been forgot,
Ours will still be hot.
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig.
