In the Hoosier Hot Shots’ studio recording, they sing this couplet, which isn’t in the above transcription:
Otto Zilch, he’s the idol of the nation. He’ll be called to the Senate for investigation.
In this “Soundie” they sing this introductory verse:
Hip hooray! Hip hooray! say, there’s a great man here with us today. though his back is bowed and his legs are bent, why he broke all records wherever he went.
And later they sing this verse:
From the wheresis to the whatsis in his whosis? Well now, we forgot his name, so excuse us, But his uncle is a barber who shampoos us. 'Twas a very very daring thing to do.
