Lee Morse & Her Bluegrass Boys -
Song written by (Walter Donaldson)
Lena Corinne "Lee" Morse (née Taylor; November 30, 1897 – December 16, 1954) was an American jazz and blues singer-songwriter, composer, guitarist, and actress. Morse's greatest popularity was in the 1920s and early 1930s as a torch singer, although her career began around 1917 and continued until her death in 1954.
Morse was known for her strong, deep singing voice and vocal range, which often belied her petite frame. She possessed a contralto vocal range, and one of her trademarks was her unique style of yodeling. Recording over 200 songs over her career, Morse was one of the most recorded female singers of the 1920s. She was also moderately successful as an actress on the Broadway stage. Her life and career, however, were marred by alcoholism. Morse's' group the Blue Grass Boys had no relation neither to their later namesake of Bill Monroe nor bluegrass music.
Although Morse's Broadway prospects had dimmed by the 1930s, she could still be seen in a number of musical film shorts, including A Million Me's (Paramount, April 25, 1930), The Music Racket (Vitaphone, June 30, 1930), and Song Service (Paramount, October 24, 1930).
Morse was born Lena Corinne Taylor on November 30, 1897 in Cove, Oregon.
Morse died on December 16, 1954 in Rochester while visiting a neighbor. She was 57 years old. She is interred at the Riverside Cemetery.
Lyrics:
Who's that baby that I see
All dolled up like a Christmas tree?
who's that, what's that comin' down my way?
What's her name? I bet it's Rose,
'Cause she's speed as a rose that grows,
I'd like to go right up to her and say;
Hey,
Where'd you get those eyes
Where'd you get those ears?
Where'd you get those whatsits, honey?
Makes me feel so, oh so funny!
Those tears,
Those nose,
Those rosy cheeks!
Hang on,
We're gone
For weeks and weeks!
Hey,
How'd you grow so sweet?
How'd you grow so nice?
Where'd you get that blue blue bonnet
With the doo-wacka-doo-doos on it?
Please make me happy and put me wise,
Where'd you get those great big eyes?
(yodelling)
Where'd you get those eyes
Where'd you get those ears?
Where'd you get those whatsits, honey?
Makes me feel so, oh so funny!
Don't eat,
Can't eat,
Can't sleep at night!
Those charms,
Those arms
That hold me tight, hey!
Where'd you learn to hug?
Where'd you learn to kiss?
Every time you kiss me, brother,
xxxx? xxxx? xxxx? xxxx? xxxx? to smother!
You got me dizzy, I'm hypnotised!
Where'd you get thos great big eyes?
