@Helenem55 A lot of music of the time had a long instrumental intro - and outro too - before the vocal in the middle. Style I guess....

@Helenem55 it was about the music as much as anything, about swing and Jazz and dance to be honest I think the lyrics were probably an afterthought to the music .... but I am happy to be wrong...

Wonder why he waits SO LONG until the lyrics come in? there are so many bars to count before you get to the words!!!

@Mattnek this song was composed by Ted Snyder, with lyrics by Harry B. Smith and Francis Wheeler, and first published in 1921. Ted Snyder was nearing the end of his songwriting career... most of his hits came around 1910 around the time he discovered Irving Berlin. Harry B. Smith was possibly the most prolific American composer of librettos and lyrics for stage shows that ever lived (mainly operetta). I know nothing about Francis Wheeler! This song is now public-domain.
