Betty Hutton in "I'm Just A Square In A Social Circle" Number

Betty Hutton sings for Barry Fitzgerald in the musical number "I'm just a square in a social circle" from the 1945 movie "The Stork Club".

Love this lady and her music....this number is just one example of her talent with unconventional lyrics. She was beautiful yet not afraid to contort her face and body as she sang and performed. She entertained with her heart on her sleeve. That endeared her to us. Betty was the genuine article; the real thing baby!

I love this classic and funny song and dance number from the 1945 classic movie The Stork Club! Thank you for posting and sharing this movie magic! I was born in 1978. I love this!

[@nysavvy9241]

She's wonderful!

[@IvanRodriguez-hl4pg]

I so loved this woman. Bob Hope hit the nail on the head when he labeled her "A vitamin pill with legs". Too nice for Hollywood. Rest peacefully, sweet angel.

[@dorinahale7951]

She's pure genius!

[@uncountedsurvivor9409]

Just Love HER, and I agree with You~!

[@mkrobinson95]

One of the best Betty numbers ... great movie! She is beautiful!

[@donhulbert1913]

I had a faint memory of this particular number from seeing it many years ago on TV. I recently bumbled around and internet search and found it. Pure fun!

[@bestfriends6596]

I love Betty Hutton and I adore this movie!

This number was responsible for the movie career of the wonderful Debbie Reynolds.She did a pantomime of Betty's record in the Miss Burbank beauty contest, which she won, and was spotted by a Warner Bros. talent scout in the audience.

fras2008 Your Absolutely Correct!! :-)

[@nathanmulroy8313]

Didn't know that, how cool!

[@joemonteleonezollo4967]

Pure talent transcends time. Never before and never since. She is before my time. However, wow what athleticism. Belts out tunes , irrepressible. She can make you love her. She can make you cry. In her movies playing open eyed optimistic, vulnerable, sweet natured women. Then knocks you out with her musical and energetic performances. Nothing but class.

[@MrManorAvenue]

Interesting that in this clip, Betty refers to "Mrs. VanderHorse," and yet in her Capitol Records recording of this song, she says, "Mrs. VanderPuss." Either way, it's just another in the library of wonderful Betty Hutton-only novelty numbers.

Where has this woman been all my life?

[@georginadominiqueauroragal9387]

When I was young I found it grim To gurgle in the social swim The do's and dont's and loddy-da's To me were just a lot of blah I used my silver spoon at birth For throwing meatballs at my nurse I always chose to thumb my nose At smarty clothes and party pose I've ditched the rich and sable set To join the kitchen table set But much to my regret I can't mingle with the social set I used the wrong fork at the Stork in New York My manners ain't fit for a goop I'm just a square in the social circle Who put that fly in my soup? I'd rather go out with a lout to a bout Than sleep in a symphony hall I'm just a square in the social circle Who knocked my gum off that wall? When the utterly utter flows like butter I want to start pitching a curve With a silly old blighter on a first nighter I feel like a pickled hors d'oeuvres, no verve I never felt gay in a fancy beret Or wear a babushka or burse I'm just a square in the social circle Finger bowls irk me the worst They just don't quench my thirst Mrs. Vanderpuss with greet me With a fourteen karat shout "My dear, you've simply got to come To my daughter's coming out" Her daughter is a Frankenstein A dracula in mink When she comes out each stag will shout "Gadzooks, I need a drink" I'd dined and clubbed I've elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne 'Foo' to you bud, take your blue blood And stick it in your fountain pen I wanna brush all the blush in the gush I'd rather get left than be right I'm just a square in the social circle Anyone here wanna fight? None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz I'd rather relax on a stool I'm just a square in the social circle Anyone wanna shoot pool? When a cookie with cabbage gets too savage I'll wrestle him three out of four I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer And show me his nautical lore Why sure The ladies in frills only fill me with chills They're soft as a ball of chenille I'm just a square in the social circle I've got a muscle of steel Anyone here want to feel? I'm as square as a pear in a boutonniere Fancy silk won't stay on I'm designed for rayon But I just don't seem to care I'm a square

[@91Kingscrib84]

Betty was the one of the Hutton sisters I preferred, though her look-a-like sister Mary was pretty cool. 😊

[@brianoyler4777]

Kingscrib: Betty's sister was Marian, who sang with Glenn Miller Orchestra.

[@user-rj5ld7jh7n]

It wasn't Mary it was Marion

[@catherinemartinez118]

When I was a little girl I always wanted to be like her

[@divinemind3266]

Holy Petunias look at how she moves her body....

[@catherinemartinez118]

[@catherinemartinez118]

[@PatrickTheMick]

It just struck me that she is Lucille Ball's predecessor.
