Ben Bernie and his orchestra perform this song as an instrumental in one of their 1922 music shorts made for DeForest Phonofilms. It's now available on the DVD, "First Sound of Movies," on the Bonus Disc.

The way he moves his legs as he is singing the song has me in stitches, and the song itself does to.
