A couple of tunes sung by Gertrude Lawrence, recorded for Victor during the run of "Oh Kay!" in 1926. She originated the role for the Gershwin musical, and Do Do Do was the "A" side of the release. Oddly, Someone to Watch Over Me was the "B" side.
She does have a bit of fun with Do Do Do, as most everyone should.
