"'Tain't No Sin"
By Larry Lobel
I can't help with other roll versions of "'Tain't no Sin", but I once had a Vocalion label 78 record with this song on it, probably from the mid 1920s. I can't remember the composer's name, but there are song indexes available in libraries where you can look up the info on a song by it's title or first line. I remember some of the words:
"When it gets too hot for comfort, And you can't get ice cream cones,
'Tain't no sin, to take off your skin, and dance around in your bones.
When the lazy syncopation Of the music softly moans,
'Tain't no sin, to take off your skin, and dance around in your bones.
The polar bears agree in Greenland, They've got the right idea,
They think it's great to refrigerate while we all cremate down here,
Now be just like bamboo babies in the South Sea tropic zone -
'Tain't no sin, to take off your skin, and dance around in your bones."
