This is "We're Busy Doing Nothing" sung by Bing Crosby, William Bendix and Sir Cedric Hardwicke, from the film. The flim is delightful tripe and this song is just a delight to see two actors not famed for singing accompanying the great crooner. Oh and now used in the McDonald's advert!

Saw brief clip of this song tonight - a PBS special about songwriter Jimmy Van Heusen. Anyone know where the lyrics are written out?  My computer loses sound, especially when powered down and back up.  I'll be back when the audio comes back.
