Oscar Brand discusses this in his book "The Ballad Mongers" (pg 99-100). The ancient bawdy song came first. Oscar learned it as "A Gob is A Slob" in 1942. Mitch Miller asked Oscar to include the bridge part which became "I never saw the boy before.....But his manner was familiar". Doris Day recorded it, and it remains Oscar's biggest single moneymaker! Anyone know any other recordings???
