A friend of mine has asked for my help in determining the title of a
song he recalls singing in the early 50's in a college quartet. He
vaguely remembers posible titles and remembers some of the lyrics,
which are printed below. If you know the title of this song, or any
other information about it, your reply would be appreciated.
Richard Huggins

Some of the lyrics:
Old Joe, please stay,
Go on and play
Play it Mr. Manny won't you play it again
Play it Mr. Manny won't you play it again
[more words -]
Bum, bum, bum, bum,
come honey let's go down
To honky-tonky town,
It's underneath the ground
Where all the fun is found
There'll be singing waiters,
Singing synchopaters,
Dancing to piano played by Mr. Brown
He plays piano queer,
He always plays by ear,
The music that you hear,
Just makes you stay a year.
Even starts a monkey
Dancing with a donkey.
Down in honky-tonky town.
Do my eyes deceive me
or am I going mad.
