14 Jan 12 - 12:41 PM (#3290599) Subject: Chord Req: Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now From: GUEST,Martunes Hi all, Happy New Year. I know this is not quite a folk/blues issue but i'm at my wits end. (which isn't too far a trip lately). I have been searching for chords for Captain Matchbox & His Whooppee Band's version of 'Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now' for years. I've tracked down a barely legible copy of the sheet music at the public library but it comes with unmarked uke chords and there seem to be some I can't identify. I've managed to get only so far with the transcription but it doesn't sound right to my ear. Can someone either point me to a transcription of Captain Matchbox's version or help me with the one below. Thanks. M Take a look at me. I'm busy as a bee. I got a lot to do, do, doodly do. I'm gonna build a home, a cozy little home, Just room enough for two, two, toodly two. There's ... add a limb on the family tree. I've found a girl as sweet as she could be. So everything is jake. What a lucky break! I'm in for some sweet time... [G7]got myself a [C]brand new hotsy. [?]I'm her totsy. [G]She's my hotsy. [G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G] [G7]What I did was [C]pop the question. [?]She said, "What a [G]great suggestion!" [G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G] [B7]No more cryin'. [B7]No more sighin'. [E7]I'm through with the [E7]blues. [A7]Does she love me, [A7]turtledove me? [A7]I'll tell the world she do, [D7] [G7]What I did was [C]pop the question. [?]She said, "What a [G]great suggestion!" [G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G] I've [G7]got myself a [C]brand new hotsy. [?]I'm her totsy. [G]She's my hotsy. [G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G] Instrumental Ever since I fell I'm on a carousel I'm dizzy as can be, be badly be Walking on the air, but I don't give a care The way they're kidding me, me medley me They would do the same for a girl like mine So I can't be blamed for feeling fine The minute that we met, everything was set I'm in for some sweet time. I've [G7]got myself a [C]brand new hotsy. [?]I'm her totsy. [G]She's my hotsy. [G]Everything is [D7]hotsy-totsy now. [G] [G7]What I did was [C]pop the question.

14 Jan 12 - 10:34 PM (#3290747) Subject: RE: Chord Req: Everything Is Hotsy Totsy Now From: Mick Pearce (MCP) Martunes I don't know the version you refer to, but I'll post from another version. There are several recordings on youtube, mostly instrumental, but you can hear the writers - Jimmy McHugh and Irving Mills as The Hotsy Totsy Boys - on the redhotjazz site: The Hotsy Totsy Boys. I've posted a transcription of their version below, with a set of chords. (I'm pretty confident of most of the words, except for the Say I've loved others... section). Mick EVERYTHING IS HOTSY TOTSY NOW (Jimmy McHugh/Irving Mills) (Em)Take a look at me, I'm busy as a bee, I got a lot to (B7+5)do, do, do. (Em)I'm gonna build a home, a cozy little home, Just room enough for (B7+5)two, two, two. Say I'm (E7)gonna add a limb on the (Am)family tree - (B7)Found a girl as sweet as (Em)she could be. (Em)So everything is jake. What a lucky break! I'm (A7)happy (*A9)as can (D7)be. Cos I (G)got myself a (C6)brand new hotsy. (Am7/C)I'm her totsy. (C6)She's my hotsy. (G)Every-(Em7)thing is (Am7)hotsy-(D7)totsy (G) now. (D7) What I did was pop the question. She said, "What a great suggestion!" Everything is hotsy-totsy now. (B7)No more cryin'. (B7)No more sighin'. (E7)I'm through with the (E7)blues. (A7)Does she love me, (A7)turtledove me? (D7)I'll tell the world she do, do, do. I've got myself a brand new hotsy. I'm her totsy and she's my hotsy. Everything is hotsy-totsy now. I said I've got myself a brand new totsy. I'm her hotsy, she's my totsy. Everything is hotsy-totsy now. I've bought the ring for Totsy's finger Just the thing a real humdinger And everything is hotsy-totsy now So long sadness, hello gladness You're welcome I vow Every little thing is peaches Down in Georgia now Cos I got myself a brand new totsy I'm her hotsy, she's my totsy And everything is hotsy-totsy now. <instrumental/kazoo break> Said I got myself a brand new hotsy I'm her totsy, she's my hotsy Everything is hotsy-totsy now. And when we spoon she don't say stopsie Don't call momsie or her popsie Everything is hotsy-totsy now. Say I've loved others, but O brothers Their love was mild? And I'm sure they're happy about my sweet perfy? She's driving me wild At ten o'clock I say I do But I'm still there at half-past two So everything is hotsy-totsy now. Source: The Hotsy Totsy Boys (McHugh & Mills), 1925 recording * = optional. You can simplify chords if you wish A9->A7, C6->C. If you can though, keep the B7 augmented chord (B7+5) - it will sound better than B7. |
