Irving Aaronson Commanders - All By Yourself In The Moonlight 1929 (Muy Solita Por la Noche)

(Victor) Recorded 1/16/1929. Phil Saxe & trio on vocals. Song written by Jay Wallis.
Irving A. Aaronson (February 7, 1895 - March 10, 1963) was an American jazz pianist and big band leader. "Let's Misbehave" fame.
Aaronson was born in New York.
By age 11 he played accompaniment in silent movie theaters (called nickelodeons).
He learned piano from Alfred Sendry at the David Mannes School for music.
His band signed with the Victor label where the band name was changed to Irving Aaronson and his Commanders.
Aaronson's band included at various times musicians such as Phil Saxe, Joe Gillespie, and others who would become band leaders themselves: Artie Shaw, Gene Krupa and Tony Pastor. Western movie actor Fuzzy Knight was a drummer with Aaronson's band in the late 1920s.
When Aaronson was 45 years old, his musician career had faded, but Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios hired him as a musical supervisor. Less notable appearance on television include his voicing of Mr. Nobody in the MGM's animation Betty Boop for President.
Aaronson died in Hollywood of a heart attack in 1963, at 68 years old. He was interred at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery.
Main lyrics:
Now, boys were made for girls, and girls were made for boys
Made to share each others cares and joys
And life without a mate, is like an empty plate
And what did Adam say before he met his fate
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze.
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
All by yourself in the moonlight
Now, she's must have their he's, and he's must have their she's
Otherwise there'd be no family trees
Why even in the zoos, they keep them there in two's
Otherwise there'd be no kangaroo's
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
It's insane, swinging down the lane
All by yourself in the moonlight
Now it get's your goat, riding in a boat
All by yourself in the moonlight
And it's all a fake, swimming in the lake
All by yourself in the moonlight
No it don't make sense, sitting upon the sands
Whispering to yourself, ain't the scenery grand
Ther ain't no whim, when you go to swim
All by yourself in the moonlight
(Instrumental Break)
Now, you can't tell lies, to the butterflies
All by yourself in the moonlight
And you'll agree, that you're poor company
All by yourself in the moonlight
When you're alone, it doesn't bring to light
Kissing yourself hello, kissing yourself goodnight
And there ain't no kick, gosh it makes you ill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no sense sitting on the fence
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no thrill by the watermill
All by yourself in the moonlight
There ain't no fun sitting beneath the trees
Giving yourself a hug, giving yourself a squeeze
Love's a farce, sittin' on the grass
Rahhh
I beg your pardon gentlemen
ranton
All by yourself in the moonlight
Goodnight

What a little gem and what a little bomb! Next to a century from its publication and it has actuality, mainly for these times with its rather newly acquired ways and also with this society separation the whole World is experiencing. Less than two hours ago I was thinking that with all this we are living today, there is no way for boys and girls to meet one another in order to create new couples. Thanks for all of these works. Take a lot of care and God bless you all, warholsoup.
