- Quotes
Mickey Moran: [singing] Here we are together, a couple of stayer-uppers / Our day is done at breakfast time and starts it with our suppers / Here we are together, ah, but the best of friends must part-y / So let me sing this parting song from the bottom of my heart-y.
- Alternate versionsOlder TV prints (and early video releases) of "Babes In Arms" run 91 minutes, and exclude the "My Day" segment of the finale, with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland spoofing Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. This segment was deleted for a 1948 reissue. "My Day" was restored in the 1990's by Ted Turner, and is included in current prints.
