In response to your request in MMD 971101, here are the lyrics,
as best as I could transcribe them:
[ Snipped; same as published lyrics above. (You have good ears,
[ Dan!) -- Robbie ]
Music by Harold Arlen, Lyrics by E. Y. Harburg. Published by
Warner Bros. Music. Recorded by Al Jolson and Cab Calloway, Dec. 1936,
for the film "The Singing Kid".
Track 23 on the CD: Al Jolson - Let me Sing and I'm Happy
(Turner Entertainment Co. 1996), which I bought at Border's Books.
Dan Shinn
[ It seems that Warner Bros. intended to use the song in "The Singing
[ Kid", and Carl Stalling decided he would also use it in "Owl Jolson".
[ Same studio, so no problem. Does the song appear on any organ or
[ orchestrion rolls? -- Robbie
