"'Tain't No Sin"
By Ken Vinen

What a wonderful risque popular song!  Just going by memory on this:
•
  The polar bears way up in Greenland --
  They have the right idea!
     They think it's great
     to re-frig-e-rate
     while we all cre-mate
  down here.

  And if a gal wears X-ray dresses,
  that show everything she owns,
 'Tain't no sin, to take off your skin 
  and dance all round in your bones!
•
This song is in my collection on 88-note Imperial #07516 with the
copyright to Donaldson, Douglas and Gumble.  No pianist given.

I also have it on 12" L.P. entitled "From Bar Room to Broadway" with
Bonnie Roberts, on the Canadian Talent Library label.  Jacket credits the
composer as Edgar Leslie, the year 1929 and show performing rights as
Capac.

It's a timeless, fun piece of music and I hope you can find a copy.

Regards, Ken Vinen, Stratford, Ontario, Canada.  (kvinen@orc.ca)
