Lighter	Origins: Sam, Sam the Lavatory Man (aka Dan Dan) (24)	RE: Origins: Sam, Sam the Lavatory Man (aka Dan Dan)	10 Jan 25
Buffalo Evening Times (June 21, 1916), in a list of comic songs: "Dan, Dan the Lavatory Man." The Republican (Springfield, Mass,) (May 25, 1925): "There is a gay and unwashed little song heard in many cities that immortalizes 'Dan, Dan, the lavatory man' Its hero was kindly Dan - [the washroom attendant] of Jack's." ["Jack's," the popular all-night cafe on Sixth Ave. and 43rd St. in New York City, closed in 1925 after 34 years.] Narromine [N.S.W.] News and Triangle Advocate (Sept. 16, 1937): "The refrain of that old classic, 'Dan, Dan, the Lavatory Man,' floated upwards."
