Album: Paint Your Wagon soundtrack (1969)
Play Video

Songfacts®:

  • This is the sixth song from the 1969 musical Paint Your Wagon in which it was performed by the Male Chorus, at that point there being only three females in the film, one of them a babe in arms.

    With music by Frederick Loewe and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, this is a very short song and involves shaving and smartening up Ben Rumson for his highly undignified wedding. >>>
