In the lyrics, she promises to give them a variety of treats, including candy, apples, plums, apricots, pomegranates, peaches, and pears.

There is simply no version of this song that's not excellent. Bernadette steamed it up, and it's a glorious experience to find Julie London. Rosemary Clooney is genius, Kitt's rendition, Midler's... it's all very sexy and...well I certainly wish I could sing like this!!! Peters is amazing, tiny lady, huge voice.

William S.

By far the best version of the song

David Andersen

Bernadette Peters sings this version of this standard in Mort in the Jungle, season 2, episode 4. I just saw it on Amazon. She was so glorious! Very sexy.

+Can İğdirli Me too... haha :)

Can İğdirli Me too. I have been a fan since I saw her in "The Jerk".

dargmar

+David Henson I agree with you. She was amazing!

You ought to listen to the Teresa Teng's version of Come on A my house.

I was looking for Mozart in the Jungle's Bernadette Peter version, which is very close to Julie's! an amazing song, and a challenge for female singers!
