According to that source, this song was debuted by composer
Frank Loesser and his wife at one of their parties. The rights were sold to MGM, who used the song in
Neptune's Daughter not once but twice-- sung by Ester Williams and Ricardo Montalban and the other by Red Skelton and Betty Garrett. I have the former linked down there. Loesser won himself an Academy Award for the song. On the sheet music, the female is "The Mouse" and the man is "The Wolf." Gives new meaning to that "
Say, what's in this drink?" line, huh.
