It was quite the vogue for men to sing lyrics which were meant to be sung by women as few dance bands had female vocalists. Hylton's "Must have that man" & Jack Payne's "When the poppies bloom again" come to mind.

It is from the "Follow Thru" The Helen Kane version is very good too.

That is too funny to hear a man singing that song!

This is good to hear, I am so used to just hearing the Ambrose.I read this is from September 1929 and the excellent vocalist is Eddie Collis.

HE is singing "let a LADY confess..." but He is a 'HE" not a "She"...do You understand..ummm, what it is that Im tying to say Darling?

Thanks,but after hearing 85scampis "i want to be bad"by Ambrose,any other version doesnt seem quite so good!
