Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Two Little Sausages (Lionel Monckton)
Subject: RE: req/ADD: Two Little Sausages
For what it's worth, Gertie Millar and Lionel Monckton were married, and he wrote many of her songs, both in theater shows and for her solo performances.

Madeleine Kahn sang a few Gertie Millar songs in the Gene Wilder film "Sherlock Holmes' Younger, Smarter Brother"—the clips are well worth finding on YouTube, particularly for "Simply Crazy" and "You Don't Love as I Do." This first song was an adaptation of "I'm Simply Crazy over You" (1915) [PDF: Lib. of Congress, IN Harmony]. I believe Paul Rubens wrote the second song for the show "Houp-La."
