The song contains one of Porter\'s most obscure lyrics among its several rhymes for "daddy" - in which the singer talks about her "fine finnan haddie," a Scottish term for smoked haddock.

Referring specifically to the melody, Oscar Levant described it as "one of the most Yiddish tunes ever written" despite the fact that "Cole Porter\'s genetic background was completely alien to any Jewishness."Oscar Levant, The Unimportance of Being Oscar, Pocket Books 1969 (reprint of G.P. Putnam 1968), p. 32. ISBN 0-671-77104-3.
