"I Love The Ladies"
Victor 17560
1914
Words by Grant Clark
Music by Jean Schwartz
Young Johnny Dunn was twenty one.
He liked to dance in each cafe.
He liked the ladies, so they say.
That’s why he danced in each cafe.
His father’s got an awful lot.
That makes it soft for little Dunn.
When he said, “Go to work, my son,”
Johnny said, “I’m having too much fun.”
I love the ladies. I love the ladies. I like to be 'round with the
girls. And when it’s five o’clock and tea is set, I like to have
my tea with suffragettes. I love the ladies. I love the ladies.
And in the good old summer time when I’m in swimmin’,
bring ou the women--they make the swimmin’ so fine.
When I’m in London, Paris, and old Vienna, or any other town, I get so lonesome, lonesome without a-hearing the rustle of a gown.
I love the ladies. I love the ladies. I love the small ones, tall ones.
God bless ’em. The world can’t twirl around without a beautiful girl.
To have some fun, young Mister Dunn
Went off to college once again
A college where there’s girls and men
He though he’d learn a lot, and then
A sweet co-ed soon turn’d his head
He burn’d his study books, they say
Threw up his cap and yelled, Hurray”
And they heard him twenty miles away
William Halley
"I'm Afraid I'm Beginning To Love You"
Oxford 39040 (this is a Columbia recording)
Song by Lew Brown & Joe Goodwin
The singer was born William Joseph Hanley in Hoboken, New Jersey, on January 17, 1893.
He recorded only for Victor and Columbia, his recording career lasting from 1913 to 1915. He was a young man, and he soon gave up recording for legal work and the U.S. Marine Corps
He made his debut with "At Uncle Tom's Cabin Door," issued on Victor 17316 in May 1913. It was recorded on March 3, 1913. Also on that day he recorded "In The Golden West," issued on a disc with a slightly higher number (Victor 17323).
The tenor's heyday as a recording artist was 1913 and 1914, with two final titles recorded in 1915.
He covered upbeat material, usually comic.
He first worked for Victor, but by the end of 1913 he switched to Columbia.
Victor labels identify him as a tenor, but Columbia calls him a baritone.
The Victor supplement for that month states that Halley "is making a success in vaudeville" but he was not famous in vaudeville.
He was evidently attending Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts, when his first discs were issued in mid-1913.
He soon afterwards attended New York Law School.
Victor labels at first identified him as William J. Halley, later as Will Halley.
The young singer enjoyed no big hits.
Moderately successful numbers include "You Made Me Love You" (Victor 17381, 1913), "Do You Take This Woman For Your Lawful Wife?" (Columbia A1497, 1914), and "All He Does Is Follow Them Around" (Columbia A1563; 1914).
He entered politics and by 1918 won a seat in New Jersey's state assembly though he resigned this post to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps.
