"You Do Have Money, Don't You?" – Inscribed score

North Hollywood [Los Angeles]: Radio-Active Music Publishing. 1951. Edition of a humorous song, inscribed by Fred Waugh, one of its three credited authors. Piano arrangement credited to Scott Seely. Quarto. 12 x 9 inches (30.5 x 22.9 cm). 6 pp. Attractive cover art: Two young women looking at a stylish convertible car (with $ hood ornament!) driven by a man with less than attractive features. Inscription to title: "Best of Luck Judy, and no aspersions about you in our ditty – Sincerely Fred Waugh." Slightly worn and creased, with small tear to pp. 3-4, and in good condition overall.

While Johnny (credited here as "Johnnie") Guarnieri was a well-known swing pianist and composer, his two collaborators—Harris and Waugh—and the "Judy" to whom Waugh inscribed this copy remain obscure. In the song, a female, or maybe two, make fun of the features of the man driving by, but "you do have money, don't you"? (22002)
