[ARSCLIST] Grandma's Goin' To Town

[Rich Remsberg <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Posting this for a friend - anyone know this song or revue?...


I'm trying to find the music to a song from the Federal Theatre  
vaudeville review, produced in Chicago and called "O Say Can You  
Sing." It opened December 11, 1936. The song is "Grandma's Goin to  
Town" and the lyrics are great.  Would love to have the tune, and  
wonder if a sound or movie record exists (or sheet music for that  
matter).   Obvious searches of mine didn't work.


Here's sample lyric:  Grandma's joined the tribe/Who worship Great  
God--Jibe!/ When things seem to go wrong and she starts to fret/We  
tune in on Armstrong and his hot cornet./ She's no longer icy/ When  
Louie hits high 'C'--Grandma's goin' to town.'
