Meyer with lyrics by Edgar Leslie and E. Ray Goetz. Popular recordings of the song in 1917 were by Van and Schenck; Prince&#8217;s Orchestra; Henry Burr and Albert Campbell; and by Billy Murray.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">This song was used in the 1942 film of the same name, where it is the first song that Jo Hayden (Judy Garland) and Harry Palmer (Gene Kelly) perform together. The Decca single release of the Garland\/Kelly version was a major hit in 1942.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p>FIRST VOCAL NOTE &#8211; SECOND STRING WHEN PLAYING C CHORD)<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">[C] The bells are [G7] ringing for me and my [C] gal\u00a0 &#8211;
