Hi!

An older friend spontaneously burst into a rhyming song, probably from the 1930s because of its references, and she was overcome with joy. I thought it would be nice to find her a recorded version of this ditty.

It begins with something like, "Do you remember the shimmy? Or who invented the [blankity-blank]?" It ends with something like, "because if you remember, then you are older than I . . . "

Any good guesses about what the title of this song is?

Thanks! Please email me directly: [e-mail]

Well, I'm very proud that my memory was able to recall this - I posted the lyrics here (click) way back in March of aught-aught. It's called "Dearie."
