[78-L] Auntie Skinner's Chicken Dinner

[Bud Black]

Clancy (and he's my favorite singer) was famous for making up his own lyrics
as he went al0ong, just as Gene Austin did on many of his later recordings.
Clancy sings something like "You must have dough before you go to Auntie
Skinner's chicken holiday." All other versions that I've heard of this song
end with "Down at Auntie Skinner's chicken dinner everybody will be there."
So, who's right?

Mal, 
 
I have the Lu Watters recording with a vocal by Clancy Hayes. 
 
But I don't know if Clancy sings all the words from the original 
Recording.
