    vintage JAZZ sheet music
    DOES MY SWEETIE DO--AND HOW
    by Sidney Holden, African-American songwriting great MACEO PINKARD (author of Sweet Georgia Brown, Them There Eyes, and more), and Pinkard's wife Edna Belle Alexander, here using her pen name Alex belledna.
    copyright 1925
    published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co.
    The cover features an inset photograph of performer Mae Alemeda George
    The down and dirty lyrics describe a "bad man hangin' 'round who's good at making love" and includes descriptions like, "he walks right in, he sits right down and soon he's right out again, but still a minute of his time sure satisfies 'there' and 'then'"
    and "there may be men who mean much more, I'm sure there's men who mean less, but he's the kind of man who understands that my 'yes' means 'yes'"
    Very Good condition with several light creases. Music complete.
