LOST SONGS: Aba Daba Honeymoon - Helen Kane

In an old movie theater, did you ever Follow the Bouncing Ball?  Sing out with a movie short?

Helen Kane, the cartoon voice of Betty Boop, leads the lyric sheet above.

Sure it was in a a big Debbie Reynolds musical of the1950s, but it was first a hit in World War I.

Abba daba daba daba do it ...
