Walrus: Thank you. I have Partridge' Dict. of Slang and Unconventional English. I forgot to look in it! It agrees with your citation, of course. Two other issues - Putting "Sweet" in front does confuse things and make it look like some variation on 'Sweet F.A,' as fat noted. It doesn't sound at all like that, though.

What I really meant, though, was we don't know for certain what Holloway actually sang or ever had a report that anyone saw the original sheet music. I'd like to know what Weston & Lee put to paper.
