US Word Roll 42616, titled "On the Z-R-3," was composed in 1924 by
Sam Lewis, Joe Young and Walter Donaldson and played by Lee Sims.
It was issued to commemorate the delivery of the Zeppelin LZ-126
(US Navy number ZR-3) from Germany to the US Navy in 1924.
The ZR-3, officially named "Los Angeles," was the most successful
airship ever flown by the US Navy. I don't know how successful the
song was.
