George,
I've no doubt that the posting has the author right, but are you sure it was not originally published before 1939? I could have sworn that the Kay Kyser recording I heard was about 1937. [I was wrong once before, though.]

As for the lyrics, the ones in the DT were not the same as on the Kay Kyser tape, so I posted those. I don't know which ones, if either, are the original.]
