Rollo & Bolliver - Mildred, Our Choir Director [MGM K12684] - 1958

The song was written by Marvin Moore and Bob Davis, who are also known
for composing the hit "The Green Door".

with much follow-up prompting to refine, I finally got this from
Copilot (nothing new here, but it puts things into words):

"The humor of the posh man and his valet, Chumley, in response to
Mildred's cliffhanger predicament, lies in the posh man's exaggerated indifference and detachment. Rather than rushing to her aid, the posh
man maintains a calm and aloof demeanor while addressing Chumley with
remarks that trivialize the urgency of the situation. This dynamic
creates an amusing contrast between Mildred's desperate plightùhanging
by her fingertips, screaming for helpùand the posh man's detachment.

"Chumley, as the recipient of these remarks, embodies the dutiful
valet archetype, passively listening without contributing to the
conversation or expressing concern. The interplay between the posh
manÆs dismissive attitude and ChumleyÆs silent presence adds a layer
of satire, poking fun at upper-class stereotypes. Mildred's cries for
rescue become a comedic spectacle, showcasing the songÆs clever use of exaggerated character dynamics. ItÆs a satirical twist that turns a life-and-death scenario into a comedic spectacle, a delightful example
of how novelty music often incorporates playful absurdity."
