What are these people saying?

I apologize if this has been discussed already, I clearly don’t know how to search a thread properly - when I tried to search on “To Have and Have Not” I got nothing.

In the movie when Lauren Bacall is singing the song “How Little We Know”, the people around the piano, and even Hoagy Carmichael (as Cricket) are saying/whispering/chanting something in the background. I have watched this film a dozen times and I still can’t make out what (or why) they are saying.

Anyone have a clue?

“Every morning/it’s time to feed”

That’s so obscure. How the hell could you KNOW that???

Thank you, VC03, but yeah, what **Kalhoun ** said.

And it doesn’t make much sense within the context of the rest of the song. However, next time I watch it I will check it out.

I am dying to know what your source is - did you lip-read it? Hoagy Carmichael’s autobiography? Is it in the sheet music (I don’t think so, I’ve seen the sheet music)? Please divulge :slight_smile:

Sorry, guys, I was just making a stupid reference to this thread, which was up at the same time. I’ve never seen the movie.

Where’s the razzberry smiley when we need it? Oh well, at least you’ve bumped this a couple of times and maybe we’ll get a real answer. :dubious:
