Hah, I actually have that one: the collection is titled just Roll Me Over, compiled by Harry Babad. The credits on that version of the song read "New words & music by Oscar Brand. © Copyright 1950 Oscar Brand, New York.
However, the words are hardly new, simply altered in spots (not by much) with a verse missing. A case of tweaking for the sake of copyright, apparently (grrrasswipe). But no matter, since the text seems to demand a lighter treatment, so guess I'll concoct my own.
Thanks to all!
