Flynn. <br /><br />This song was included in the London production of from Our Miss Gibbs. <br /><br />Americans heard the song in the Broadway show "The Merry Widow And The Devil" (1908). <br /><br />Young Herman von Bellow, a musical fellow, <br />Played on a big cello each night <br />Sweet melodies rare in a dance garden where <br />Dancers danced round and round with delight <br /><br />One night he saw dancing a maid so entrancing <br />His heart caught on fire inside <br />And music so mellow he sawed on his cello <br />She walked up to him and she cried <br /><br />Yip! I Adee! I Aye, I Aye, <br />Yip! I Adee! I Aye <br /><br />I don't care what becomes of <br />me when you play me that <br />sweet melody! Yip! I Adee! <br />I Aye, my heart wants to <br />holler "Hooray!" Sing of joy, <br />sing of bliss, home was never <br />like this! Yip! I Adee! I Aye <br /><br />Now sometimes the music makes me sick and you sick <br />And sometimes it's perfectly grand <br />But the tune that von Bellow tore off on his cello <br />Was that I'd leave home for you brand <br /><br />So, seek not Spring Valley to welcome home Sally <br />Who went to New York for the ride <br />For the night that von Bellow cut loose on his cello <br />She tore up her ticket and cried <br /><br />Arthur Collins & Byron G. Harlan "Yip! I Adee I Ay!" Edison Standard Record 10094 (1909) <br />
