You can hear a recording of Ted Lewis and His Band performing this song at The Red Hot Jazz Archive. I don't know the name of the vocalist, but I think you might be amused by his verbose style of embellishing the lyrics.

IN A SHANTY IN OLD SHANTY TOWN
(Young/Little/Siras)

Say, I'm up in the world,
But I want to tell you, folks, that I'd give the whole world
To be back, way, way back, where I used to be,
You know, it's a heavenly nest,
That's where, that's where I rest the best,
And it means more than the world to me.

Oh, say, it's only a little shanty, a shanty in old Shanty Town.
Why, the roof, it's so slanty, it nearly touches the ground.
That tumble-down shack, by an old railroad track,
Like a millionaire's mansion, it's calling me back.

Ah, say, I'd give up a palace, a palace, if I were a king.
Why, to me it's more than a palace, folks. It's my life. It's my everything.
And there's a queen waiting there, a queen, I tell ya, uh-huh, with a silvery crown,
In a little shanty in Shanty Town.

And I've played with the big stars down east and out west,
And I've lived, and, yes, lived like a big star, and I've mixed, mixed with the best,
Ah, but you can turn out those lights, turn 'em out, I tell ya, and take my name down,
And you'll be welcome in my little shanty in old Shanty Town,
Yes, sir!
