I love old, old songs and I think this one dates back to Music Hall days. I received a cd of music from 1907 for Christmas because it included a version of this silly little ditty about a golddigging socialite whose true motives are reviled by the stuffed bird perched on her hat. Funny stuff. I first heard it on the Muppet Show. A sample:
"I'll be your little honey, I will promise that,
Said Nellie as she rolled her dreamy eyes,
It's a shame to take the money,
Said the bird on Nellie's hat,
Last night she said the same to Johnny Wise,
Then to Nellie Willie whispered as they fondly kissed,
I'll bet that you were never kissed like that.
Well he don't know Nellie like I do,
Said the saucy little bird on Nellie's hat."

Really nice, I like the textured looking background. I think I need to get some old muppets shows for Lucy, I think she'd love them.
Awesome song! Sometimes radio 20's on iTunes will play old dittys like that from the turn of the century at like 4:00 AM. Really awesome to hear during all-nighters.
Your work is still looking great!
Catch you soon.
