Yet another song that has now bridged three centuries, this snappy tune is most remembered from a Warner Brothers cartoon, with the chorus sung by a frog. It was also featured in Mel Brooks' movie 'Spaceballs' in 1987.

Story behind the song
Another example of how Tin Pan Alley songs are still with us today.
Lyrics
Hello, ma baby, hello, ma honey, hello ma ragtime gal
Send me a kiss by wire, baby my heart's on fire
If you refuse me, honey you'll lose me, then you'll be left alone
Oh, baby, telephone and tell me I'm your own.
