"The correct name for this tune is TAKE ME BACK TO COL-LER-RAD-DA FER TO STAY and was written in 1929 by Moran Moore. He used a lot of slang and I will write it exactly as he did."

It was written by Charles Leslie Johnson using the name Moran Moore according to the following:

'Output slowed again from 1926 forward. He arranged a tribute composed for aviator Charles Lindbergh in 1927 titled Our Yankee Boy. In 1928 Charlie made one last go at ragtime, this time in the novelty vein. Monkey Biznez was a decent novelty tune, but the composer found it hard to compete against the brilliant works of Roy Bargy, Arthur Schutt, or even Zez Confrey. He also threw his musical hat in the ring with Your Cause and Mine in support of Republican presidential candidate Herbert Hoover. As the Republican convention was being held in Kansas City that year, there was assurance of exposure for the tune. Pushing forward, Johnson utilized yet another pseudonym, reportedly to introduce a series of silly novelty tunes.

As Moran Moore (more and more), he composed the surprisingly popular Take Me Back to Col-ler-rad-da Fer to Stay in 1928, followed by The Tramp in 1929. Now in his mid fifties, he appears to have tried to balance retirement and work, turning out songs at a very leisurely rate.'
