HOT DOGS AND SASPARELLA
Words by Leonard Whitcup, music by Walter G. Samuels.

As recorded by Todd Rollins and His Orchestra with vocal by Chick Bullock; Jun 18, 1934; Banner 33092-B. [Internet Archive]

Hot dogs and sasparella
Underneath a beach umbrella
And you to make the day so sunny.
I’ll write love letters to you in the sand.
Ah, won’t it be grand
To be wicki-wacki-wooin’ at the seashore?
Oh, boy! There’s nothin’ sweller:
Hot dogs and sasparella
With lots of kisses from my, from my honey.
You’ll be my Cinderella.
I’ll be that lucky fella—
Hot dogs and sasparella with you.
