Here's the Billy Mack version, copyrighted just a few weeks after McClintock's (which was released on Nov. 1 or 2, 1928). Hmmmm.
A tip of the lid to "Sheet Music Singer" on YouTube.
Mack's song is just as clever but even more elaborate than McClintock's. In fact, interminable. The tune, however, is virtually the same. The lyrics seem not to have caught on anywhere.
