Subject: RE: Help- Song Origin & tune: All day I go dreami
Scroll to the bottom of this page for a sound sample of this song. Some of the other search results I got from Google.com included references to barber shop quartet music, so it seems to be used for that a lot.

Coon Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra: Why Don't My Dreams Come True

About halfway through the song is when the singing starts. Slight differences to the lyrics given in this thread.

The names credited for this song are John Flood / George E. Patton.

And before anyone goes off on a detour in this thread about the name of the above Orchestra - one of the founders of the Orchestra was called Carelton Coon.
