"Steppin' Out"
Words and Music by John S. Howard and Con Conrad
Performed by Al Jolson with the Isham Jones Orchestra
Recorded March 1924
Brunswick 2567
Dishes and rolling pins, pots and pans
Silverware, furniture, old tin cans
Around the flat were flying
I heard a lady crying
Neighbors all hollered out, "Won't you stop?"
"Cut it out! Cut it out! Call a cop!"
Slam went the door
And a man began to roar
Steppin' out, now I'm through
Steppin' out, done with you
When we wed we both said life would be one sweet song
Though we had lots of words all the music was wrong
Steppin' out, taking air
Steppin' out on a tear
If you want me night or day, look in any swell café
And you'll find me steppin' out
Everybody in our block knows how wicked you can sock
Firpo, Willard, Dempsey too, Never had a thing off you!
Every night I'd call a cop, Oh, but he wouldn't make you stop
Each one came and took a chance, flirted with the ambulance
Steppin' out, no more fights
Steppin' out, nighty night
When we wed people said what a wonderful match
It was all playing ball. When you'd pitch I would catch!
Steppin' out, no remorse
Steppin' out means divorce
Get a summons out for me, try to serve it and you'll see
That you'll find me steppin' out
Steppin' out, no remorse
Steppin' out means divorce
Though I know I'll lose my wife, I'm not gonna lose my life!
That's why I'm steppin' out!

Fantastic. I love that twenties sound. And Jolson is incomparable.

I'd thought I'd heard most of Jolson's stuff, but this is new to me. Thanks for posting!

I love Al Jolson and the "Junk Bucket" bluesy melody of this tune - thanks for posting. :)

@zzenzero Thanks for the comment. Ah, yes!... the flipside,,, "The One I Love Belongs to Somebody Else" another great Jolson/Isham Jones recording. It's posted elsewhere on YT for those interested.
