This is a lyric from a song by Albert Von Tilzer, New York lyricist of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame “ fame Other of his hit songs included: "Put Your Arms Around Me Honey" published in 1910 and "Oh, How She Could Yacki Hacki Wicki Wacki Woo" which was made popular by Eddie Cantor in 1917 Von Tilzer is also remembered for emitting "Oh, By Jingo!" a novelty number that the record-buying public of 1919 seems to have found particularly irresistible As if to inaugurate the new decade with another impossibly successful hit, Von TIlzer epublished "I'll Be with You in Apple Blossom Time" in 1920, and then the moderately successful "Dapper Dan" in 1921. He was a prolific lyricist and wrote hundreds of songs Von Tilzer worked on Broadway composing scores as well as contributed songs to films in the 1920s and 1930s. .
