Dee penned the words to a nonsense song that went to number 1 in 1945 called "Chickery Chick". The music was written by Sidney Lippman, and it was played by Sammy Kaye's orchestra. It was quite memorable because of its nonsense lyrics, which included "Chickery chick, cha-la, cha-la". At the time of her death in New York City, she was the wife of Dr. Jere Faison, a New York gynecologist.
