This was high on the charts when I was eight and riding a bicycle to impress a little girl. I am still fond of the song.
If you’re hearing Emmanuel Chabrier’s España (1883)
you’re not wrong O
America we serve
hot dogs to the King
and Queen of England
and did you know It was Al Jolson
who launched “hot diggity dog”
in the 20s, a decade famous for phrases,
like digga digga do and making whoopie.
