At the Music Hall: I Lift Up My Finger And Say Tweet Tweet!

I lift up my finger and I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!"
I don't need to linger when I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!"
When the baby screams and scatters my dreams
Do I start to sing or hum?
No! I lift up my finger and I say
"Tweet tweet, shush shush, now now, come come!" 




Around the time that the Music Hall had reached its highest point and just before its decline in the face of moving pictures, Leslie Sarony, the great British performer and song-writer, wrote this popular and enduring song in 1929.  This cheerful tune is still performed to this day.
