Cliff Edwards - Anything You Say 1928 "Ukulele Ike" Walter Donaldson Songs (Cadillac Coupe)

Columbia (1427-D) Recorded June 5, 1928. Flipside to "Just Like A Melody Out Of The Sky".

Clifton Avon "Cliff" Edwards (June 14, 1895 – July 17, 1971), nicknamed "Ukulele Ike", was an American musician, singer, actor and voice actor, who enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s, specializing in jazzy renditions of pop standards and novelty tunes. He had a number-one hit with "Singin' in the Rain" in 1929. He also did voices for animated cartoons later in his career, and is best known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940) and Fun and Fancy Free (1947), and Dandy (Jim) Crow in Walt Disney's Dumbo (1941).
He had nearly disappeared from the public eye at the time of his death on July 17, 1971, at the age of 76 from a cardiac arrest brought on by arteriosclerosis. Now penniless, Edwards was a charity patient at the Virgil Convalescent Hospital in Hollywood, California. His body was unclaimed and was donated to the University of California, Los Angeles medical school. When Walt Disney Productions, which had been quietly paying many of his medical expenses, discovered this, they offered to purchase his remains and pay for the burial. Instead, it was done by the Actors' Fund of America (which had also aided Edwards) and the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund. Disney paid for his grave marker.

Lyrics: (From The Internet)
Here we are so happy just where we are
And smiling just like we are
Like lovers all do
I could see exactly how things should be
I had to give in you see
'Cause i had to get you
It looks like you like having your own way
It looks like i like anything you say
It looks like you like a Cadillac coupé
It looks like i like anything you say
We like a lot like a lot of lovers do
A house and a lot of skies of blue
We'll raise a garden and family some day
I beg your pardon, anything you say
Hard to get you surely were hard to get
I had to plead hard and yet
I liked it and so
Wanted you nobody but you, just you
And all of my dreams came true
And i'm raring to go
It looks like you like having your own way
It looks like i like anything you say
It looks like you like a Cadillac coupé
It looks like i like anything you say
We like a lot like a lot of lovers do
A house and a lot of skies of blue
We'll raise a garden and family some day
I beg your pardon, anything you say
