The song was introduced by Vivienne Segal in the 1940 Broadway production, and also sung by Miss Segal both on the 1950 hit record and in the 1952 Broadway revival. The song was performed by Carol Bruce in the 1954 London production. The original lyrics present an unabashed celebration of feminine sexuality that has been bowdlerized in most covers to remove the song's blatant sexual allusions. One such line is "When love came and told me I shouldn't sleep," replacing the original "Until I could sleep where I shouldn't sleep"; another switch changed "And worship the trousers that cling to him" to "And long for the day I'll cling to him." The lyric "horizontally speaking, he's at his best" is often sung, "Harsh until he's speaking..." A reprise, including the line "Those ants that invaded my pants," is generally omitted entirely.[1] The authentic allusions are preserved in Frederica von Stade's 1990 recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John McGlinn.
