From the 1920 show Tick Tack Toe • Words by Fred Fisher • Music by Johnny S. Black • Lyrics • 1. The Dardanella blues, the Dardanella blues • Was written just to tell the news • About the little fellow who wrote Dardanella • And the girl that he refused • For when he wrote that strain • That Dardanella strain • She said, You'll never change my name • 'Till you write another one that 's just as grand • So, he composed this sweet refrain • Chorus • Oh, that Dardanella blues • Ask the band to play it • And I'll say they won't refuse • It's one sensation, with a jazz improvement • The orchestration shows up every movement • Oh, the Dardanella blues • The words are simply nothing • Nothing but a good excuse • I heard them say • The bass is just a little hard to play • But that is why • They like the Dardanella blues • 2. Now when this melody found popularity • It reached everybody's ears • The girl that threw him down • When he wrote Dardanella • Thought that he would go in tears • Instead he used his wit and wrote another hit • And called it Dardanella blues • His girl came back • And now his song is going fine • And after all he didn't lose • ---------------------------------------- • Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein. • Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne. • Get the sheet music and MIDI for this song at: • https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/the-...
