The song is originally called Yakety Sax, and can be found in many fake books.

Benny Hill used this as his Intro to his show, I seem to remember once he claimed to have written it but he may not have said it quite that way. Booty Randolph made a hit of it but who wrote it?
It was a great song for his style of comedy. Wyndham

Um, that's "Boots" -- not "Booty" 'K?

The tune, "Yakety Sax" authorship is attributed to the late James "Spider" Rich, a guitarist who co-wrote with Boots Randolph.

sorry for the typo. My "puter" keyboard is from the late 1700's and sticks a bit and of course I have nothing to do with that.....right
Thanks Mac, Wyndham
