I just discovered that there is a two stanzas of verse to Yuba

Post by bloke »

I found these lyrics. Does anyone have access to the melody to this verse?
...and TWO verse stanzas, of all things :bugeyes:
His name was Yuba,
He was homely, he was dumb.
And so was Yuba
Just a big ambitious bum,
He wouldn't do-a
So much as chew a piece of gum
So this is news to me.

I understand-a
He's an overnight success,
He's in demand-a.
And you never could have guessed.
Well, he found a big bass tuba
Then he bummed his way to Cuba
And the rest (and the rest) is history.

I actually have the original sheet music from when it was published. I however have no idea where it might currently be. :facepalm2:
