Didn't he take it home to show his wife at one point? After he goes to the shop, he runs out of there...

... a-runnin' for my life
... I took it home .... to show it to my wife
But this is what she said to me as I came through the door
Get out of here with that (dum da dum) and don't come back no more! (repeat)

I have it on a CD at home, but unfortunately I'm not at home right now.

The guy who sang it (Phil Harris) is the same guy who played Balloo the Bear in Disney's Jungle Book (and many other roles in other Disney movies). Great baritone voice.
