Then there's Move It on Over by Hank Williams. Each verse ends with a reference to a different "better dog," and it closes with this verse: Remember pup, before you whine That side's yours and this side's mine So shove it on over (move it on over) Sweep it on over (move it on over) Move over cold dog cause a hot dog's moving in The Boy Scouts have a cheer/yell... Cheers, Yells, and Applauses Compiled by Daniel R. Mott District 23 Roundtable Staff. Applause stunts are a great way to recognize a person or den/patrol in a troop/pack meeting for some accomplishment they have performed. Be sure before you start that everyone knows and understands the applause stunt and how to do it. Applause stunts serve more then one purpose they not only provide recognition but also help liven up a meeting. Applause stunts need to be fun. Strive for quality of performance in your stunts. Hot Dog with Mustard: Get your hot dog and put it in a bun. Pick up the mustard bottle and squeeze some mustard on the hot dog, then take a big bite and say, "Yummmmm!" Not sure how you'd use that.... I have a database listing for "BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON Hot Dogs," but I dunno if it's a song or an album title. ~Susan |

W: Now where's your dog? HM: Uh, uh, it's just that that roll you got will hold a half a hog. Yessir. W: Well, listen, man, can you fit it? HM: Why sure I can W: Why boy?

Hot Dog - Sidney Torch Recorded on the organ at the Regal Cinema, marble Arch, London (the largest cinema organ in Europe), some time in the mid 1930's. This instrument had a very extensive (almost excessive) range of silent picture effects, including a set of tuned bird whistles, which can be heard at about 1'07". The organ was removed into storage in Cornwall about 1964, and the Cinema demolished. The instrument survives, and is currently undergoing restoration.

I'm looking for the guy who runs the hot-lunch stand. He's us'lly here around half-past three, And I'm a hung-a-ry girl, you see. They say I'm fickle; that's a fact, But if I like the service, I might come back. Tell me: how much is it? I'm willing to pay, So listen to the words I say: I want a hot dog for my roll. I want it hot; I don't want it cold. Give me a big one; that's what I said. I want it so it will fit my bread. I want a hot dog for my roll. I want it young; I don't want it old. I sure will be disgusted If that dog ain't full of mustard. Don't want an excuse. It must have lots of juice. I want a hot dog for my roll. Now here's a dog that's short and lean. That ain't the kind o' dog I mean. Well, here's a dog that's short and fat. You better show me something better than that. Well. here's my roll; where's your dog? Uh-uh, that roll you got would hold half a hog. Hey! Tell me, can you fill it? Why, yes I can. I'm known as the champion hot-dog man. Now here's a hot dog for your roll. You want it hot; you don't want it cold. I haven't eaten; it's been a while. Oh, my dog will lay you in the aisle. She wants a hot dog for her roll. She wants it young; she don't want it old. Don't worry; it won't hurt her. It's just a friendly frankfurter. She'll wait in line. If it's kosher, that's fine. She wants a hot dog for her roll! She wants a hot dog for her roll! [I have omitted some patter that appears in the recording. I have italicized the words sung by others than the main singer. The above song is adapted from a comedy record by Butterbeans & Susie called "I Want a Hot Dog for My Roll" (1927) which you can hear at YouTube. |

It wasn't on the beach at Waikiki, Nor at a perfume counter in Paree Where we met, and yet— Something in the air was continental. There were moonbeams caressing the sand. I was feeling young and sentimental At a little hot-dog stand. Gallantly I handed her the mustard, Then she curtsied and I kissed her hand. Inwardly my heart was getting flustered At a little hot-dog stand. [§] The bubbles in our soda pop just hit us like champagne. I guess that we had five or six. From somewhere in the distance came a Viennese refrain, Or was my fancy playing tricks? There and then a spark of love ignited. It was real and the feeling was grand. To our wedding breakfast you're invited At a little hot-dog stand. [Repeat from §.] |

08 May 17 - 01:40 PM (#3853950) Subject: Lyr Add: HOT DOG MAN (Sam Theard) From: Jim Dixon I would classify this song as hokum. I can imagine a jug band doing it. Ordinarily I would not bother to post 8 copies of a chorus, but Theard so persistently introduces minor variations that I think his effort should be documented. HOT DOG MAN As recorded by Lovin' Sam Theard, 1929. 1. Mama is worried, and my papa too. They all upset 'bout my sister Sue 'Cause she crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. Oh, she's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about a hot-dog man, yes, sir, She's a fool about a hot-dog man. 2. She stays out at night till three o'clock, Followin' that man around the block. Oh, she crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. She's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land. She crazy 'bout a funny-lookin' hot-dog man, Crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. 3. Maybe it's them good hot dogs makes her love him so, Or something else; I don't know, But she crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. She's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about a hot-dog man, yes, sir, Goin' crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. 4. Ain't no use jokin' an' it ain't no bluff. That hot dog man must know his stuff, 'Cause she crazy 'bout that hot-dog man. She's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Goin' crazy 'bout a hot-dog man, yes, sir, Crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. 5. Pa put that hot-dog man in jail. My sister Sue, she went his bail, 'Cause she crazy 'bout that hot-dog man. Oh. she's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about that hot-dog man, yes, sir. She's a fool about the hot-dog man. 6. She's my own dear sister but I'm forced to say: There never was no hot dog could make you act that way, 'Cause she crazy 'bout that hot-dog man. She's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about the hot-dog man. I don't know, but she's just a fool about that hot-dog man. 7. Listen here, folks; I'm tellin' you: That hot-dog man has put that thing on Sue, 'Cause she crazy 'bout that hot-dog man. She's always hangin' 'round his stand. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about that hot-dog man, yes, sir, That same ol' hot-dog man. 8. Oh, buys her clo'es, sends her to school, But that hot-dog man done turned her [a] fool, 'Cause she crazy 'bout a hot-dog man. Oh, funniest gal in the land. She's the funniest gal in the land, Wild about a hot-dog man, yes, sir, A funny-lookin' hot-dog man. [Theard also wrote (I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD) YOU RASCAL YOU, famously recorded by Louis Armstrong.] |

You can hear it sung by Billy Murray at YouTube, or see the sheet music at Mississippi State University's web site. FIDO IS A HOT DOG NOW Words by Charles McCarron and Thomas J. Gray; music by Raymond Walker, ©1914. 1. We had a dog name Fido that I liked very much. I used to spend all my dough for puppy cakes and such. Our fam'ly learned to love him; to our hearts he was endeared, But now they've gone in mourning 'cause poor Fido's disappeared. CHORUS: But I won't look all over, The way they did for Rover, 'Cause I know just where little Fido's gone. (Poor dog!) He's in a place below, Where all the naughty doggies go, Down, down, down, where there isn't any snow. Though his hair was short, and his tail was long, I miss the little devil somehow. (Bow wow!) {But he won't get cold feet at that. There'll be too much mustard where he's at.} Fido is a hot dog now. 2. We never had a burglar; they wouldn't take a chance, 'Cause they knew little Fido would hang on to their pants. I used to love bologna; 'twas the only meat I'd get, But now I cannot eat it; it reminds me of my pet. ON SECOND CHORUS, SUBSTITUTE: {He's smothered now in sauerkraut. 'Twill take too long to dig him out.} |

Nelson © 1927 Since the world began The girl expects the man To bring her tokens of his love Some bring bags of gold Their ladies love to hold And jewels bright as stars above But my sweetheart's ideals Are so much higher, so much higher, And here's how I fulfill Her heart's desire… Every night I bring her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches How my baby loves those Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches I tried to win her with flowers, flowers All kinds of sweetness `Til I found out my baby's weakness Every night she whispers Thanks for the sandwiches Thanks for the sandwiches But I fear there's something wrong Instead of her billing and cooing All she starts doing is chewing Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches All night long Say… Every night I bring her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches How my baby loves those Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches I tried to win her with candy, candy Ice cream and custard But how she likes hot dogs with mustard Every night she whispers Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches But I fear there's something wrong Listen… Even when it was Yom Kippur, Quietly I had to slip her Frankfurter sandwiches Frankfurter sandwiches All night long! ************************************ These are the lyrics transcribed from the version sung by Harry Rose in Metro Movietone Revue (1929).
