This was a tricky letter. When looking up novelty songs beginning with O, I found many I did not know. So I decided to look each of them up and pick one. Most of the ones I found sounded fun, but I ended up choosing this one. It's always fun to find new things.
The song was one of Tin Pan Alley's biggest hits in the post-World War I era. According to the link above, it was sung in several movies and in an episode of I Love Lucy. I don't know how I missed this song for so long!
Here are two recordings of the song, as well as a scene from one of the movies in which the song was included. So many people have recorded the song, according to my Youtube search.

O is a tricky one. But you came through;)
That is a new one for me as well.
I've watched most of I love Lucy! Maybe I heard it and didn't remember
I didn't recognize the name but once I heard it I now remember it.
What a cheerful song. I njoyed the scene from Skirts Ahoy.

This one doesn't sound familiar. I've seen many old movies, but I haven't seen the one you posted. I guess I have a movie to hunt down :)
haha That's a fun one! Can't say I've ever heard it before, but it was good, and I liked the one with Debbie Reynolds best. :)
Well, that was certainly a solid novelty song! I enjoyed it.
