| Extra Information | A later Leo society entertainer song. This was when he made the switch from music hall composer to entertainer at the piano. Written during the time when the telephone was still seen as a novelty, so phone langugae now common was seen as extraordinary, and Leo poked fun at it with this pleasant little ditty. |
