It's been quite a while since I heard this little gem. I remember the "for sleeping? or jumping?" part, and his "lucky" uncle.
Mr. Iskowitz was a pretty funny fellow, a real "ham" on wry.

"Broke again, gentlemen. I am ruined now. Wall Street's not to blame, nor the racing game.
I have spent every cent, let me tell you how. Listen, one and all, to the cause of my downfall:
HUNGRY WOMEN! HUNGRY WOMEN!
I feed 'em and weep. They never eat cheap.
Then they pitch in, and clean the kitchen.
What I'd like to know, is "where does it go?"
I met a great magician doing wondrous feats.
He sawed a woman in half, gave ME the half that EATS!"
--- excerpt from "Hungry Women" (the "flip side" of his smash hit "Makin' Whoopee")

BTW did you miss THIS ?
There is an obscure connection here. Apparently "Banjo Eyes" wrote "Merrily We Roll Along" the "da-da-da-da-dadadada-dadadada-da-da-da-da-DA-DA-dadumdum" that preceded Porky's famous tag line "Th-th-th-that's all f-f-f-olks!" Melvin Blanc was an astounding talent.
