Frigidaire & "Play Me a Frigid Air"
By Robbie Rhodes

"Put ice in your saxes, freeze that trumpets blare;
  It's too darn hot for a hot tune - Play me a frigid air.
  Fan your clarinetter, I'm sure that he won't care;
  It's too darn hot for a hot tune - Play me a frigid air.

 "The Eskimos would love it, up north in their hometown,
  But I don't think much of it, so turn your dampers down.
  I'm no tropic native - look at what I wear;
  It's too darn hot for a hot tune - Play me a frigid air."

By Lou Herscher and Murray Clark, 1932; recorded by Syd Pelton's
Village Barn Orchestra, Victor Orthophonic 24084.  Also performed
by Cab Calloway.
