NOTES [73 words]: This is an interesting example of a Weston/Lee collaboration, because usually Weston wrote the words and Lee the music, but this credits Lee and R. P. Weston with the words, while Harris Weston (R. P. Weston's son) supplied the music. The sheet music calls it a "comedy fox trot song" and says it is sung by Al. Plunkett.
For the long list of songs in the Index by R. P. Weston, or Weston and Bert Lee, see the notes to "Goodbye-ee." - RBW
