BANJO THAT MAN JOE PLAYS, THE
Cole Porter   1929


Jack Hylton, 
Billy Ternent & Chappie D'Amato w Jack Hylton & his Orch



When that man Joe 
Makes that banjo
Play that old tune I adore,
San Francisco, 
Dear old 'Frisco,
Calls me 'cross the prairies once more.

Something lingers
In his fingers
That reminds me of early days,
And I'm back with my Amanda
On that old-fashioned verandah;
That's why I make propaganda
For that banjo that man Joe plays.
