Sing it Billy...He smiles down from heaven whenever we listen to his songs...
As a resident of New Rochelle, NY...I know exactly what the meaning of this song has...It represents the city from the suburbs...Those were the days!

A good, but not great Billy Murray record. This George Cohan number has a lot of strange vocabulary (what exactly is a jay??) and therefore I sometimes missed the whole meaning of the song. Oh well. Billy Murray still rocks my socks though..
