  • Eddie Cantor sings "My Wife Is on a Diet" in the 1930 short subject Getting a Ticket. He's been pulled over by a cop and tells the man he's Eddie Cantor. Eddie has no identification with him, so naturally to prove who he is, he sings a song.

    Boardwalk Empire brought me here, had no idea that Eddie Cantor was a real life person. Bravo to how well he’s portrayed in the show!

      Try boardwalk empire. It's a TV series but they have an Eddie cantor impersonator in it, it also has a great soundtrack. If you want a movie with this type of sound try old movies 1943 and before.

      Just found this song i really enjoy it! First song i found by eddie cantor was making whoopie and my baby just cares for me. Now i was born in 1991 but i usually listen to 60's -80's which are still good but i found Eddie Cantor and love his work. I dont even remember how i learned about him might have been from Three stooges that i also enjoy i believe it was around the same point in time! Either way its a masterpiece that i really wish more people my age and younger would appreciate! It does suck with todays society how you have to put disclaimers! When you watch three stooges you see none of those because when it came it out not only did the average kid know naturally not to do what they saw on tv but how they were raised knew by instinct! Just like with all the looney tunes like wild e coyote you did not have to tell people not to use dynamite? it is very sad what this world has come to! It was a lot prettier then!

    I think this just so cute this must go on nowadays to, I don't mean singing to the policeman. I've turned into a great Eddie Cantor fan. I've read a lot about him and it seems that no one has anything bad to say about him. 😂😂😂

      "Blue" comedy is on network TV every day now, because people like Eddie Cantor punched through back then. I used to laugh myself silly listening to Howard Stern 25 years ago, but now it seems tame in comparison and it's much the same with Cantor. He was a pioneer, he pushed limits and he changed the game. Think of the kind of moralizing that led to Prohibition and then think of how much he must have pissed off those people, and that's where the laugh is today....not in the shock or the novelty (it's worn off) but in the sheer balls of what it meant at the time.

    What's the greatest problem now throughout the land
    What's the only problem needs a helping hand
    it isn't prohibition
    Or Farm relief I find
    it's something more important now on everybody's mind
    just walk into any home today
    It's 10 to 1 you'll hear each husband say
    My wife is on a diet
    And since she's on a diet
    Home isn't home anymore
    No gravy and potatoes
    Just lettuce and tomatoes
    Where are the pies i adore
    Oh oh oh oh what a disgrace
    I'm ashamed to look a grapefruit straight in the face
    My wife is on a diet
    And since she's on a diet
    I'm losing a pound every day
    Monday grapefruit breakfast and for dinner
    And at night some orange juice
    Tuesday grapefruit
    Boys I'm growing thinner
    All my clothes are getting loose
    Wednesday Thursday then I feel satisfied
    Cuz then I change to coffee with grapefruit on the side
    From Friday to Sunday
    There's more than I can stand
    Before the 18th day
    I'll have a lily in my hand
    My wife is on a diet
    She tries to keep it quiet
    Gee but she looks like a dude
    God dammit
    What used to be her fender
    Is growing thin and slender
    Even her bumper is lose
    Around her chassis she's not the same
    Why you can even see the bolts that hold up her frame
    My wife is on a diet
    And since she's on a diet
    I never go home anymore
