Some discographies indicate that Homer and Jethro recorded this, but I haven't heard their version. They're famous for their parodies, but they did perform a few humorous songs "straight," that is, as written by others.

You can hear a recording by Billy Jones & Ernest Hare (The Happiness Boys) at The Internet Archive. They altered the lyrics to turn it into a dialog, which was their custom.

This is my transcription from the sheet music found at the Archive of Popular American Music at UCLA.


YOU TELL HER—I STUTTER
Words by Billy Rose. Music by Cliff Friend.
New York: Irving Berlin, Inc., 1922.

1. Bill McCloskey was a husky healthy handsome lad;
And McCloskey had
A pretty little girl by the name of Pearl
But McCloskey, big and husky, stuttered very bad
So when he wanted her to marry him,
He told her brother Jim.

CHORUS: You, you, you, you, you, you, you tell her
'Cause I, I, I, I, I, I stutter and
O, o, o, o, always get in dutch,
She, she, she, she, she, she ought to know,
I've a bun, bun, bun, bun, bungalow,
Where we two can raise a little
"Eefff, off eeff-a-soff-a-loff-a"
Help, help, help, help, help a feller,
And go, go, go, go, go and tell her
I've boo, boo, boo, boo, bought the ring and such,
I'm thinking ow, wow, wow, wow, of her
'Cause I low, wo, wo, wo, love her
So you, you tell her, oh you, you tell her 'cause I, I, stutter too much.

2. Her big brother told his mother what McCloskey said;
She said "Go ahead,"
And so he telephoned to McCloskey's home.
Billy grabbed a taxicab right to his sweetie's door,
He saw the family upon the porch,
And started in to roar.

CHORUS: You, you, you, you, you, you, you tell her
'Cause I, I, I, I, I, I stutter and
Some, some, some, someday I'll get in dutch.
When, when, when I hear the parson say,
Will you hon, hon, honor and obey?
I'm afraid that I will answer
"Eepp, eipp, gimmee a piece of peipp"*
When I'm in her poo, poo, parlor,
I ki, ki, cough and sneeze and holler
My tu, tu, tongue, and tonsils seems to touch.
And when I foo, foo, fool around her,
I'm a foo foo fraid I'll drown her.
So you, you tell her, oh you, you tell her 'cause I, I, stutter too much.


* A nonsense catch phrase that also occurs in EEP, IPE, WANNA PIECE OF PIE, recorded by Fats Waller much later.

Having spent much time transcribing this, I'm not sure it was worth it. But I'm embarked on a project to transcribe songs sung by Jones and Hare, and good taste won't stop me now!
