By Fred Rose & Walter Hirsch
1926
An old vaudeville tune, introduced on stage by S.L. Stambaugh, but popularized in later recordings by Ben Bernie and Ruth Etting. It is also notable for being the very first song recorded by the young Benny Goodman in late 1926.
Lyrics:
Do I want you?
Oh my do I
Honey, indeed I do
Do I need you?
Oh my do I
Honey, a-deed I do
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you
That's why I'm always hangin' around you
Do I love you?
Oh my do I
Honey, deed I do
Recorded By:
Diana Krall
Ella Fitzgerald
Perry Como
Blossom Dearie
Billie Holiday
