Tim Gracyk | Gene Austin "Ain't She Sweet?" (1927) FLAPPER SONG Roaring '20s Victor 20568 Jack Yellen Milton Ager @timgracyk | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Gene Austin sings the classic "Ain't She Sweet?" on Victor 20568, recorded on March 15, 1927.

Nat Shilkret is the conductor in the studio, which is interesting since Shilkret made his own recording (with the Victor Orchestra) of "Ain't She Sweet?" for Victor 20508, recorded on March 10, 1927--a mere five days earlier!

On that relatively "hot" Shilkret recording, the vocal is by Franklyn Baur.

This classic song is by Jack Yellen (lyrics) and Milton Ager (music). Was the song really inspired by Ager's daughter Shana? That's been reported. Who knows? I distrust most show-biz legends.

Now, ain't she sweet?
See her coming down the street!
Now I ask you very confidentially,
"Ain't she sweet?"

Ain't she nice?
Look her over once or twice.
Now I ask you very confidentially,
"Ain't she nice?"

Just cast an eye
in her direction.
Oh, me--oh, my!
Ain't that perfection?

I repeat: now don't you
think that's kind of neat?
And I ask you very confidentially:
"Ain't that baby nice?"
