Where are the lyrics? It's all instrumental.

[@seventy8historicmusic]

Instrumental versions of popular tunes are quite common from this era, especially with dance orchestras. Outside of a vocal solo, you'd be lucky to find more than just a vocal chorus!

@@seventy8historicmusic Oh, okay. The description mentions "lyrics by John Schonberger" so i thought they might be included.

Who was Ted Gilbert a pseudonym for?

[@seventy8historicmusic]

Don't know! I usually give the pseudonym when I know it. Ted Gilbert was apparently used for a number of different bands on the Operaphone label

[@martinbryan3716]

Probably Nicholas Orlando's Orchestra, from Pathé.

Yes, this master was originally issued on Pathé.
