I always treated that as a novelty song and figured that she did it just for fun. It is sort of like that song Miss Otis Regrets that a number of people have done.

That's funny you mention that song. I have never understood what it's about. Is it actually about someone canceling a lunch engagement because they're dying?

It's narrated by Miss Otis' social secretary, who informs the lunch date that Miss Otis has killed the lover who jilted her, been taken to jail, and been lynched by a mob. From the one-of-a-kind pen of Cole Porter.
