OMGosh   OMGosh      OMGosh    !!

I just caught me a Whizz-Fish! And on the Internet too!!

Here's the source:

Yale Melodies: A Collection of the Latest Songs used by the Yale University Glee Club, composed, compiled, and edited by Thomas G.[Griffin] Shepard, Musical Director of the Club since 1873, assisted by James W. Reynolds, President of the Club of 1903. New Haven, Conn.: Thomas G. Shepard, Publisher, 1903. Copyright, 1903, by Thomas G. Shepard.



"The Whizz-Fish (Monkey Murmurs)", words by Lyttleton Fox 1902, music by Porter Steel 1902, appears on pages 66 - 69.

Google Books says that the original, before
being reproduced as a digital file, belonged
-- not to Yale University,
but to the University of Michigan.
