Elderly Man River by Stan Freberg and Daws Butler. At the time this routine was done on Stan's 1957 radio show, the song was barely 30 years old at the time, 1938... from Broadway's Show Boat by Jerome Kern. Brilliant parody sending up many years in advance what is now called political correctness The risky parts are gradually cleansed thanks to a prudish censor (Butler) who appears in the recording. Music is by Capitol Records band leader Billy May.
