I am looking for the lyrics to this old vaudeville song, popular in the twenties. The first two lines are: "Mention My Name in Sheboygan, It's the greatest little town in the world . . ." What is the rest of it? Wondering in Virginia Dean

I couldn't find the song anywhere on the Internet, and that's just not right. I had many a bratwurst in Sheboygan in my day, ya, you betcha.

MENTION MY NAME IN SHEBOYGAN
(Bob Hilliard, Dick Sanford, and Sammy Mysels)

Mention my name in Sheboygan,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
Just tell them all you're an old friend of mine,
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign.
So mention my name in Sheboygan,
And if you ever get in a jam,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I am.

Mention my name in Paducah,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know a gal there you'll simply adore,
She was "Miss Paducah" back in nineteen-o-four.
So mention my name in Paducah,
And if you ever get in a mess,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address.

Mention my name in Elmira,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I told the Mayor that he would go far,
I even gave the sheriff an exploding cigar.
So mention my name in Elmira,
And if they ever try to put you in jail,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't write to me for bail.

Mention my name in Tacoma,
It's the greatest little town in the world.
I know the big shots in their City Hall,
They're even got my picture on the post office wall.
So mention my name in Tacoma,
And if you ever get in a spat,
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell 'em where I'm at.

Every time I hear the name Sheboygan, I remember Some Like it Hot, when someone I think it was Jack Lemmon, as Daphne, claimed to have gone to the Sheboygan Conservatoire of music.

The Everly Brothers did the strangest recording of "...Sheboygan". Don't know what they were thinking at the time.
