When Danny Kaye performed the song, his arms would be outstretched and he would sway back and forth at that line. Shsilver (talk) 15:28, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That would be lifted from the Gene Kelly performance of the song that predates the Danny Kaye performance by nearly a decade. LiamE (talk) 03:38, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
