The original was written by Mabel Wayne, Al Hoffman and Maurice in the early 30's. My folks had a recording of Bing Crosby doing the song (written for a little boy) and played it for me. I've loved it ever since and enjoyed very much slanting the lyrics to Lily Ani. Glad it meant something to your family, Max.
