The Third Sign of Spring

Jaybird says:

Little Cozy Flat doesn’t appear to have any recordings in places easy to find. Sheet music has survived.

Listen, dearest, to the story I am going to tell you;
It’s a song of old-time glory, every single word is true.
I won’t swear by stars above you, nothing so old as that;
But on the level, Kid, I love you and we’ll get a cozy flat.

A little cozy flat, a place to hang my hat
a little girl like you to run and kiss me
Now you can’t beat that
A loving smile from you
A little sunshine too
You just mark my words
We will live like birds
In our cozy flat.

What’s the other song? Oh. I see.
Huh. Al Jolson covered it. Huh. Okay.

The third song… Holy cow. A recording from 1909 survived. And the coat was blue. So that makes it a little better.
