Oops...too speedy on the trigger! Sorry.

It's only taken me three years to find the lyrics to this thing. Truth to tell, my SO found a 78--at a junk sale--and remembered us hunting for it all that time ago. So we're now the proud possessors of a record we can only play on one machine in our house...

Here are the lyrics. I'll send email to Phyl. Hope the original requester is still around!

Whose Izzy Is He (Is He Yours or Is He Mine)?
Performer: Carl Fenton's Orchestra

Brunswick label, 1924

Whose Izzy is he, is he yours or is he mine?
I'm getting dizzy, watching Izzy all the time.
He said that he'd be true to me.
I should've got a guarantee!
Whose Izzy is he, is he yours or is he mine?
If you get him, then you'll give me the "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha."
If I get him then I'll give you the "Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!"
He who laughs last laughs the best.
You laugh half, I'll laugh the rest.
You may laugh up your sleeve,
But I'll laugh up my vest.

Whose Izzy is he, is he yours or is he mine?
I'm getting dizzy watching Izzy all the time.
He likes lemon with his tea,
I guess the lemon must be me.
Whose Izzy is he, is he yours or is he mine?
