== Censorship ==
* When Cartoon Network aired this short as part of their installment show, Late-Night Black and White, the second half was severely edited to remove three scenes containing outdated African-American stereotypes and blackface:http://www.intanibase.com/gac/looneytunes/censored-s.aspx
** The boy starting a "Sambo Jazz Band" wind-up toy.
** A baby doll falling into a bucket of coal and emerging in blackface to say, "Mammy!" to which a nearby Mammy doll responds, "Sonny boy!"
** The dolls from "Red-Headed Baby" singing a chorus of the title song.
== Notes ==
* This cartoon entered the public domain in the United States in 1962, as United Artists failed to renew the copyright in time. This is the last Harman-Ising short currently in the public domain.
* This short reuses animation from "Red-Headed Baby".
*This cartoon was shown in theatres with Lawyer Man during its original release.
