What's the song Leo Minosa sings?


I know I've heard it before, but what's the title (and lyrics) of the song Leo and Tatum sing in the cave? It seems to have the word "suet" in it. And I'm wondering if anyone remembers the tune from a 60's TV show or something.

Thanks, JosefKafka for the info. I had no idea how to get the info on this tune. I couldn't spell it or understand any of the lyrics. You definitely saved the day. You might want to make your comments its own post. It's full of insight.

It's a novelty tune from 1941, called The Hut-Sut Song.

There are some theories that it is a take-off on an older song called Hot Shot Dawson.

"We're comin', Leo" has been running through mine for about five years. I think I'd jump out a window if it was Hut Sut. ;)

That's one nice thing about being a music teacher -- if a song gets stuck in my head, I can usually replace it with another.

That has saved me from "It's a Small World" many times.
