Thanks very much to Brian Thornton and Jody for publishing the words to
'My Little Bimbo, Down on the Bamboo Isle'.

The Ampico version, 59603, played by 'Marion Scott' (I wonder who that
really was) has always been one of my favorite examples of a sprightly and
well arranged 'early era' popular roll, but it had no words. Now I have a
copy of the lyrics in the box for singing along. In my opinion, this work,
as well as other neglected pops from this era, deserve recutting.
