I went to camp Ajawah as a young Cub Scout, too, and I remember this song. I’ve wondered about it’s origin, too. I saw it in a book at a hootnanny, once, here in Berkeley, but I was too involved with some other aspect of playing music that evening to examine the book for further details about the song. (I think the book, which was hardbound, was a book of college “campus songs”, from the ‘40’s or early’50’s). Anyway, I bet it’s from a vaudeville show from back in the ninteen-teens, or maybe it was part of the New York musical from the early ‘40’s, “Needles and Pins”?
