It just so happened that last week I came upon a video from the movie,
Neptune’s Daughter (1949), that introduced the tune. The video is a novelty version of that song in which the roles of mouse and wolf are reversed between the sexes. I’ve watched it a few times, it’s so well done, IMO:

Odd... I caught myself singing this song to myself at least four times today, in the roles of both the wolf and the mouse. Perhaps it had something to do with the weather.
