QRS 2256 "Snakes Hips" Played by Thomas Waller
By Jeffrey Borinsky
I have a copy of "Snake Hips", recorded by Thomas "Fats" Waller
on QRS Q-108, originally on QRS 2256. There are lyrics printed
on the roll but I can't find any reference to them on-line.
There's this sheet music cover which is probably for the same
piece: http://www.streetswing.com/histmain/z5snake1.htm
Can anyone shed any light on whether the lyrics are original,
added by QRS or some other explanation?
