WHEN MY LITTLE POMERANIAN MET YOUR LITTLE PEKINESE
(Little Jack Little / David Oppenheim / Ira Schuster)
Ray Noble & His Orch. (vocals: Al Bowlly & Frances Day) - 1933
Maurice Winnick & His Orch. (vocal: Sam Browne) - 1933
As recorded by AL BOWLLY & FRANCES DAY
with Ray Noble's Orch., 10th May 1933:
BOWLLY:
I was strolling in the park
It was getting on for dark
I was walking my dog around
And I tried to catch your eye
But you acted rather shy
As you walked your dog around
DAY:
It was funny how we met
We can thank each little pet
BOWLLY:
It is such a lovely evening
Won't you stroll beneath the trees
DAY:
For your little Pomeranian
Has seen my little Pekinese
BOWLLY:
Though it's just a casual meeting
Dare I give your hand a squeeze
DAY:
Oh, look, your little Pomeranian
Has kissed my little Pekinese, bless him
BOWLLY:
It seems they're telling you just what to do
We might've thought of that before
DAY:
Please don't forget that we just met
BOWLLY:
I'm sitting up to beg for more
FD; Do really mean you love me
AB: Yes, upon my bended knee
FD: And my little Pickeranian
AB: No, Pomeranian
FD: Will love your little Pominese
AB: Pekinese
FD: Oooh!

As recorded by SAM BROWNE
with Maurice Winnick's Orch., 16th May 1933:
It was such a lovely evening
I was humming with the breeze
When my little Pomeranian
Met your little Pekinese
It was just a casual meeting
But I gave your hand a squeeze
And my little Pomeranian
Kissed your little Pekinese
Right then and there I knew just what to do
The Moon began to smile above
I promised you that I'd be true
That mine was not a puppy love
Then we walked along together
And you set my heart at ease
When my little Pomeranian
Met your little Pekinese
