Fine and Dandy is a popular song from the 1930 Broadway musical of the same name. Music by Kay Swift and lyrics by Paul James, the pseudonym of James Warburg. It was introduced by Joe Cook and Alice Boulden as part of Fine and Dandy, which opened on Broadway in 1930 after a Boston try-out and ran for 255 performances. The show blends musical comedy, vaudeville, and social satire, set at the Fordyce Drop Forge and Tool Factory, and it helped establish Swift as a major female Broadway composer with a saxophone driven score that pointed toward the early swing era. The tune has become a jazz and pop standard, recorded by many artists including Louis Armstrong and His All Stars (1950), Doris Day (1951), Barbra Streisand (1964), and a 2004 PS Classics studio recording. The original material was largely lost and later reconstructed for modern performances.
