SINCE HENRY FORD APOLOGIZED TO ME 1926 Happiness Boys Victor 20925 E+ DESCRIPTION    Victor 29025 (1926, beautiful E+ copy)
 Interesting historical record recorded by the Happiness Boys, in which they goof on the "apology" offered to American Jews by Henry Ford for his public antisemitism. Reverse side has Pastafazoola. Just a terrific copy. Lyrics:
 
   

Oyoy gevalt gevalt
   Vuts de mattuh, Abram?
   Did you see the Yiddishe Joinal this morning Dovid?
   No, vut did it say?
   Well I don't mind telling you that I'm so happy I could cry
   You're looking simply great, why don't you celebrate?
   I bought maynself a quart of hooch, a collar mit a tie
   Well if I see you making voopie, what's your alibi?

 

I was sad and I was blue but now I'm just as good as you
   Since Henry Ford apologized to me
   That's why you threw away your little Chevrolet
   And bought yourself a Ford cou-pay.

 

I told the superintendent that the Dearborn Independent doesn't have to hang up where it used to be
   You're happy now because he settled half the case
   I'm sorry I cut off my nose to spite mayn race
   Are you glad he changed his point of view?
   Yes, I like even Edsel too
   Since Henry Ford apologized to me

 

Oy yoy yeah yeah yeah

 

Ven you hoid he would be in town did you write him in adventz?
   Sure I asked him please to drop around to see mayn shop
   Did you say you were a tailor?
   Sure! I offered him a chentz
   To get a suit of clothes at cost
   Including hextra pentz

 

Soitenly

 

To even up for what he did
   I bought a tractor for mayn kid
   Since Henry Ford apologized to me
   Di mama said she'd feed him if he calls
   Gefilte fish and matzo balls
   And even if he runs for president I wouldn't charge a single cent
   I'll cast my ballot absolutely free… maybe
   He's got an aviator for his new machine
   Instead of Cholly Lindboigz* he's got Charles Levine
   You've got a cold now does it hoit?
   Yeah, but I don't suffer in Detroit
   Since Henry Ford apologized to me

 

I put the family jewels in hock and bought myself a share of stock
   Since Henry Ford apologized to me
   I hear you had a baby yesterday and named it Henry right away
   For what I thought about that guy my wife was telling me that I
   Should send him also my apology
   You got some whiskers and tied it on your Ford somehow
   And everybody thinks I drive a Lincoln now
   I saw the brand new cars he makes
   Instead of Lizzies they'll be Jakes

 

Since Henry Ford apologized to me

 
             

I'm not a professional record grader. I make a judgment of the condition of the record based on a visual inspection and having been played on my Esoteric transcription turntable. Please understand that the grade I assign is subjective.
         
      E+  "Excellent plus." Minimal  effects of age. Slightly  surface noise, clicks, pops  etc.
      E  "Excellent." Some slight evidence of age or handling (fine  scratches, scuffs, rubs). Minimal groove wear. May show some very minor grey  traces in grooves.
      E-  "Excellent minus." Very close to "E" but with slightly more  wear from handling and age.
      VG+ "Very  good plus." Obvious wear, but not excessive. Slightly more surface noise. Not as choice as the higher grades, but what one would expect of a  record that was actually used for many  years. And can be still quite enjoyable.
      VG "Very  Good." As "very good" implies the record will still play quite  well. However, there is more wear and  tear than with "VG+" grade. There is moderate surface noise.
      G "Good." Serviceable but not great. Quite a bit of wear.

          About Me   For several decades I was an avid collector of historical artifacts that reflected some aspect of American history. I used these items, or digital versions of them, to teach 10th graders about American history. I’m now close to the end of my career and approaching retirement. So, it’s time to start the downsizing process and depart with my beloved collection. Along the way I'll be selling off other items too.
