Ella Fitzgerald - 'Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones' (1938)

[stan469]

Almost as good as the Charlie & His Orchestra version. Lyrics include:

"He's grown up, but I'm afraid he will stray,

"With a name like the one that he's got today,

"He sends the boys to Iceland's shore,

"to engage in foreign wars,

"Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones"

@stan469 Try listening to the Flannagan and Allen version.

I remember buying this record back in 1938 in New York City. Ella Fitzgerald signed mine and my husband's.
