Howdy!  You are probably referring to the rag by Robert Hoffman,
written in 1909, but in 1925 Ray Henderson wrote music to words by
B. G. DeSylva and Bud Green with the same name.  'Perfessor' Bill
Edwards' wonderful MIDI file of _that_ lovely piece of showmanship
can be found at

You should ask his permission before you use it!
