It was copyrighted 1946, words by E.Y. Harburg, music by Burton Lane, and it is from Finian's Rainbow. Seems as though I can hear the Latin rhythm .. Herb Alpert style?? But then Dennis Day seems to "ring" in my ears with lots of Irish styling. I was hoping to find a midi file on line that I could take to class next week for an example of rhythms for this song.
