Jerry Lewis: Triple "Typewriter"

Happy birthday, Jerry, March 16, 1926.

Leroy Anderson composed his famous orchestral piece with sound effects, "The Typewriter," in 1950. Lewis incorporated the music into his live repertoire of record pantomimes long before the skit was utilized in the film "Who's Minding the Store?" (1963). Here are three of his performances, each with variations.
