For the record, Lippman wrote the music. The other two managed between them to fashion the lyric.

Perry Como recorded the song on Lippman's birthday.

Copies of the original sheet music are available online for 10 bucks (or as we brits call them, dollars).at the-forum.com/EPHEMERA/music.

And just been listening to I Got a Gal in Kalamazoo which has the line

"A B E D E F G H I got a gal etc."
