Oh By Jingo!Oh By Gee-Lew Brown, Albert Von Tilzer (Acoustic)
A novelty song from the 1919 Broadway play ?Linger Longer Lettie?.
Not sure, but original might be in G. I think these chords
are easier for a novice player. You can play around with the
transpose button on the left, or capo, but it sounds best to
me starting in a sharp chord in any case. In 2/4 timing.
Capo I
Em In the land of Am San Domingo
Em Lived a girl called Am Oh! By Jingo
Em Ta da Am da da da C7 da da da
Em Umpa, umpa, umpa, umpa
Em From the fields and Am from the marshes
Em Came the young and Am old by goshes,
Em Ta da Am da da da C7 da da da
Em Umpa, umpa, umpa, umpa
D7They all spoke with a Gdiff'rent lingo
D7But they all loved GOh! By Jingo
BAnd ev'ry Em7night
They A7sang in the pale moon lD7ight...
GOh! By Gee, By Gosh, By Gum, By Jove
Em6Oh! By Jingo, won't you hear our A7love?
D7We will build for you a hut
GYou will be our fav'rite nut
A7We'll have a lot of little Oh! By Gollies
D7Then we'll put them in the Follies
GBy Jingo said, By Gosh, By Gee,
CBy Jiminy, please don't bother B7me
EmSo they all went away singing
EmOh! By Gee, By Gosh, By Gum, By Jove, By Jingo
GBy Gee, you're the D7only girl for Gme!
Additional Lyrics:
2nd part of original
Oh By Jingo had a lover
He was always under cover
Ta da da da da da da da
Umpa, umpa, umpa, umpa
Ev'ry night she used to meet him
Oh how nice she used to treat him
Ta da da da da da da da
Umpa, umpa, umpa, umpa
D7They eloped but they Gboth were collared
And the gang stood there and hollered
BDon't raise a Em7fuss
You've A7got to take one of D7us...(into Oh By Gee...)
Version from Jeeves & Wooster is same but with a
couple of rhyming phrases changed:
We will build for you a hut
You will be our fav'rite nut
We'll have a lot of little Oh By Jingoes
Pink and white just like flamingoes
and:
We will build for you a hut
You will be our fav'rite nut
We'll have a lot of little Oh By jones-es
Dress them up in clogs and clothes-es
Billy Murray had another chorus which you can find
on line, but I don't remember it offhand.
Have fun with it!
