I found these lyrics. Does anyone have access to the melody to this verse?
...and TWO verse stanzas, of all things
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.
