Harry Armstrong and Billy Clarke, who write their own comic songs, offer several of their newest works, scoring a great hit with "I Wasn't Exactly Running, but I Passed Every body Dat Was."
The refrain looses its comic force after the first verse, but that first verse is good for a positive howl of merriment.
