Lyrics by Jack Norworth
Sung by Oliver Hardy and danced by both he and Stan Laurel,I love this film! This was Laurel and Hardy's best film and the only one in Public Domain! If you can find a complete copy. Take a close look at Stan during his soft shoe number of "Shine On Harvest Moon" As you look at your TV, look over Stan's left shoulder in the close-up. You will notice ANOTHER Stan! Stan Laurel's (Arthur Stanley Jefferson)'s real-life (look-alike) brother who was in California for a final visit with Stan. Travel to and from England was difficult then. Now it's common.,
