One of the memorable songs from "North Dakota"

This was a musical written by Fred Allen, the comedian. The tunes sounded strangely like those from "Oklahoma." In fact, you can sing this first stanza from one of the numbers to the tune of "The Surrey With the Fringe on Top."

For the cold I don't give a hoot
'Cause I'm wearin' my new Union Suit;
Yes, I'm wearin' my new Union Suit
With the hinge on the back.
