Guy tells story with play on words(Symphony Slang)

Does anyone remember this one? I need the name and who did it (MGM, Warner Bros, etc), so I can try to find it:
It was a play on words...the guy is telling a story about going out w/Mary, an old flame (and he walks w/a flame on his arm), he 'chews the rag' w/the bartender (literally), the piano played 'by ear' (literally), a bunch of guys were outside just 'hangin' around' (literally), etc...at the end, he says 'whassamatter, cat caught your tongue', and there's the cat w/a tongue in it's paw. I remember this as my favorite as a kid, but don't know the details...HELP!
THANX!

I could have sworn it was available on DVD now, as a bonus cartoon to one of the MGM feature films released by Warner Home Video. A title search on Amazon only yields the VHS tape, however, and you can expect to pay an arm and a leg for it.
Hopefully the long-awaited Tex Avery DVD box set will soon be forthcoming...

Avery was a genius.
Maybe that was my influence on a play that I wrote for my school.

I just posted a question about this cartoon. I think it is called "Webster's Dream" that is a pic of part of the cartoon. I want to find it so bad!!! I watched it on the Bozo show with my daughter in the late 70's. Where did you find that Pic?

I have it on a 5 DVD Tex Avery set I bought off ebay a few years ago. I haven't seen it since. I assume it is a bootleg, but whoever did the disc did a very nice job. A 5 disc clamshell case and labels on the discs with Tex's art and a cartoon index index. It's one of my lucky finds. Though not remastered, every cartoon is above par (no BS network logos marring the lower right corner...grrrrr...one of my top five reasons for my not having ANY broadcast TV in my home...no cable, no antenae, no dish...but that's another story!). The first disc is a melange of Tex's Warners stuff and the remaining 4 are (at first glance anyway) his complete MGM output.

There's a French region 2 PAL tin litho set that is almost complete but edited available at Amazon, France.
Reading the reviews the French are NOT happy with the edits. - Jon
