Calvin Coolidge [2:03] was well-known for never opening his mouth unless he had something important to say; a famous joke had him attending a social affair where the matron said, "Oh, Mr. President, I made a bet that I could get you to say more than three words." "You lose", he replied.13 years ago

This is a song my father used to sing, self accompanied on Banjo, Uke or guitar. I am glad to have found it on Youtube , since I don't have it in my 78 rpm collection.14 years ago

@ThePeaceableKingdom This is certainly one of my favorite versions. I like Frank Crumit's a lot too.14 years ago

I know several versions of this (i'm partial to Vaughn DeLeath's) as well as a couple of its companion piece "The Vo-Do-Do-De-O Blues." This one's very jazzy and danceable. (By the 1920's standard of "danceable" - not a dancer, myself...)14 years ago
