Song that Jason Robards sang -with banjo accompaniment


Can anyone supply the title of the song that Jason Robards sang to his young nephew (to a banjo accompaniment) along the lines of "You can come and play in my yard....." etc Its a song that is famously sung by Peggy Lee - but we can't find it !

"Yes, Sir, That's My Baby" is the song and I also believe it was a uke. Here's the lyrics and the tune.

I believe it's actually a baritone ukulele - tuned DGBE like a guitar.

Would like to find the soundtrack to the movie. But this Version of "Yes Sir that's my Baby" is my new favorite. I liked the way they changed the Mood to the song to fit the Mood of the Film as it went along.
