FRANK, THE FRANKFURTER MAN
(Words and music by Charles J. McCarthy, Dick Sanford, Nelson Cogane)
As recorded by Al Trace and His Silly Symphonists on Gennett 7041-A, 1930.

Who’s the busiest man in town? Frank.
Who’s the man that always comes around? Frank.
Rain or shine, he’s always going strong,
Making people happy with his song:

Get ’em while they’re hot!
Get ’em while they’re hot!
Get ’em while they’re hot!
Red hot!
Here comes Frank, the frankfurter man.
How the kiddies run,
Yelling: “Gimme one!
Yummy-yummy-yum!”
Well done!
Welcome Frank, the frankfurter man.
They’re so delicious for young and old.
They’re just like kisses; they’re not so hot when they’re cold.
So get ’em while they’re hot!
Get ’em while they’re hot!
Get ’em while they’re hot!
Red hot!
You’ll thank Frank, the frankfurter man.

[SPOKEN] They’re harmless; they’re homeless; they’re boneless.
You can’t tell a player without a red-hot.
All right, fall right out for your pedigreed puppies!
Our franks go furder.

When you’re out to the ball game, (Make mine with mustard!)
At the circus with the kiddies,
You will see him with his basket selling dogs. (Arf! Arf!)
Hot dogs! (Arf! Arf!)
That’s Frank, the frankfurter man. (Arf! Arf!)
(Arf! Arf!)
