Thread Name: Lyr Req: Homer Tracy
Subject: Lyr Req: Homer Tracy
Comic song popular in the 1940s (I heard Fred Allen sing it on the radio), TTTO "Old Joe Clark". "Our hero was a floorwalker. His name was Homer Tracy. He walked the floor in a department store, And the store was owned by Macy." He gets trampled to death by a mob at a girdle sale, and is buried in the basement.
