Up the Lazy river Prima 1937

In this clip from the 1937 short movie "Swing it" Louis Prima and his band have decided to drive to California. In Hollywood they are driving around and looking for a place to play. Louis meets one of the waitresses (Lucille Ball) who used to work in the same place in New York and suggests that the place where she now works can certainly use a good New Orleans band. Then Louis sings and plays "Up the Lazy River" with some close-up solos by Pee Wee Russell
