More about this title

About the Composer: Mort Dixon

Mort Dixon was a prolific lyricist and composer who flourished during the 1920s and 1930s, a period when novelty songs and upbeat popular tunes dominated American musical theater and radio. Known for his ability to craft catchy melodies and clever lyrics that appealed to broad audiences, Dixon collaborated with composers like Harry Woods to create songs that captured the spirit of the era. His work ranged from sentimental ballads to infectious novelty numbers, many of which became standards performed by dance bands and vocalists of the time.

Dixon's legacy in music education centers on the accessibility and charm of his compositions. Teachers and directors turn to his catalog because the melodies are memorable, the rhythms are approachable, and the lyrical content remains fun and engaging for modern singers. His collaborations with Woods produced some of the era's most delightful pieces, making them ideal for concert programming at all levels.

Why we love this

Andy Beck's arrangement brings this novelty classic to life with the kind of energy and character that makes singers smile during rehearsal and audiences light up in the audience. The incorporation of movement and staging transforms what could be a simple novelty into a genuine entertainment moment, and the partner song option gives you flexibility to layer in soloists or smaller vocal groups. The recorded accompaniment support makes it accessible even when you don't have a pianist on hand.

What to expect

Bright, bouncy, and full of good humor, this piece radiates the infectious energy of 1920s popular song. The melody is instantly memorable, the text playful and lighthearted, and Beck's arrangement keeps everything moving with rhythmic vitality and smart voicing that keeps all parts engaged and singing.

Who it's for

Choral directors seeking a fun, engaging novelty number that works for mixed choirs at the secondary or community level. The arrangement and staging options make it ideal for concert programming when you want a moment of levity and entertainment alongside more serious repertoire.

How to get the most out of it

Commit fully to the character and style of a novelty song; the arrangement shines when singers embrace the playfulness rather than treat it as a novelty to get through.
Use the movement and staging suggestions as a springboard for your own choreography and staging ideas tailored to your ensemble's strengths and stage setup.
If you're using the recorded accompaniment, rehearse with it early and often so singers lock into the groove and tempo before performance week.

How to use it

Place this during the second half of a concert to shift the mood and give your audience a genuine laugh between more substantial works. It pairs beautifully with other novelty or folk-inspired pieces and works especially well as a finale or encore if your program needs a send-off with a smile.
