ABOUT THE MUSIC: With lyrics by Mort Dixon and music by Harry M. Woods, it was originally recorded in 1927 and revived in 1948. The Art Mooney recording we used topped the Billboard Charts for 3 weeks. Philadelphia (USA) loves the tune, adopting it for the annual Mummers Parade and their Major League Soccer franchise, the Philadelphia Union.
