This is a cheerful popular song, written by Harry Woods in 1926. Many people have recorded it over the years but perhaps the most successful was Al Jolson's version. My arrangement is in a bouncy stride piano style as perhaps many of the early jazz pianists would have performed it.Â
It's a bit of a tricky arrangement, especially the left hand. Pianists with small hands could easily leave out the tenths and just play either octaves or single bass notes.Â
I include chord symbols which I always find helpful in learning new tunes but I don't include any fingering, pedal or dynamics which I prefer to leave up to the individual pianist.
