And I like the Tom & Jerry version where the mouse uses the cat's whiskers as a double bass!!

Yes, I love the Tom & Jerry (original names for Simon & Garfunkel's act) too. The reference is Is You Is

IS YOU IS OR IS YOU AIN'T (MA' BABY)
- written by Billy Austin and Louis Jordan
- from the Universal picture "Follow The Boys"
- lyrics as recorded in Los Angeles June 30, 1944 by The Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby and Vic Schoen & His Orchestra

I got a gal who's always late
Anytime we have a date
But I love her, yes I love her

Mmm, he's gonna walk up to my gate
And see if he can get it straight
'Cause he wants her, he's gonna ask her

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
You's is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out

A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find she's gone and made a change

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true

Is you or is you ain't my baby, baby
Baby boy, the way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
See here, who's been cuttin' me
You's is still my baby, baby
Baby boy, it seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
Oh, blackout

A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find she's gone and made a change
And took my change

Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Maybe baby's found somebody
Is my baby still my baby true

Hi,
I'm looking for the performers behind the recording of Louis Jordan and Billy Austin's "Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby," shown in the 1947 Tom and Jerry Episode entitled "Solid Serenade."
