An ENIGMA! regarding this song ~~~~

The album cover shown by clicking on Joe's link above in 2nd post on here gives dates of content 1925-48; and another post above puts 1946 in brackets after title of this calypso.

BUT my recollection, confirmed by Wikipedia, is that the "Teddy-Boys" were definitely a 1950s phenomenon originating in London: "Originally known as Cosh Boys, the name Teddy Boy was coined when a 1953 Daily Express newspaper headline shortened Edward to Teddy" - Wiki. The name derived from a fashion, started by young Guards officers & Cambridge undergraduates in about 1950, for suits based on the long jacket & flared trousers of the Edwardian era 40+ years before, which these upper & upper-middle class young men dropped speedily when a style distantly derived from the fashion were adopted by violent street gangs of the era.

So I am much mystified as to how this designation came to be used in a late-1940s calypso by a Trinidad-born NewYork-based singer {who was also, btw, as matter of interest, one of writers of the celebrated Rum & Coca Cola}.

Can anyone resolve this apparent anomaly, please, which is entirely inimical to my well-know taxonomic inclinations!
