[78-L] Dick Robertson's "Henry's Made A Lady Out Of Lizzie"?

[Leroy Barco]

"Ford Has Made a Lady Out of Lizzie" Joe Wheeler... Madison 1629

eBayed it away years ago to a non-78 Model-A person who just wanted the
artifact.
I sent him a CD of it and kept a copy for myself.

Edited out a needle dig... "Lizzie is now 'Elizabeth Van Flivver' and lives
way up on Lincoln Avenue."

Don't have a dating guide handy.

It's a good, peppy, inventive song-- Wheeler is good. Is that a pseudonym?
