Jack Horntip	Origins: Chicago/I Used to Work in Chicago (bawdy) (52* d)	RE: Origins: Chicago/I Used to Work in Chicago (bawdy)	14 Jul 23
When I was in Chicago, I worked in a department store; I worked in a hosiery department-- I did, but I don't any more! A lady came asking for garters; I asked her what kind she wore; She pulled up her dress and said, "Rubber!" I did, but I don't any more! Collected in 1943 from Roscoe Colton, in Malad, Idaho by James Kenneth Larson. The informant learned the jingle (song) in 1932. This is in the "Vulgar Jingles" section of Barnyard Folklore of Southeastern Idaho, found the the combined collection known as The Folklore Trade with Gershon Legman consummated in 1952. The song: https://archive.org/details/1933-1972jameskennethlarson/page/148/mode/2up?q=chicago&view=theater Attribution is found here: https://archive.org/details/1933-1972jameskennethlarson/page/160/mode/2up?q=chicago&view=theater
