    Description

    People have long associated locations with numbers, and used numbers as names for streets and avenues. The sheet music for this song by Euday L. Bowman does so. There are two copies. One, which shows a couple dancing,has a 1919 copyright date and words by James S. Sumner . The other, which shows Pee Wee Hunt, says it was originally copyrighted in 1914 with a copyright renewed in 1941 and a further copyright in 1942. This copy has lyrics by Andy Razaf.
