"The Riff Song" by Sigmund Romberg
By Michael Woolf

Too many riffs!

"The Riff Song" I referred to is not a jazz or ragtime piece; it's
a rather stirring piece of musical comedy hokum: the lyrics are
found at  http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859385919/ 
"The Desert Song" by Romberg is a classic musical show.

Best from Down Under where it's starting to warm up at last!
