"I Haven't Told Her, She Hasn't Told Me"

I just posted this little number - one of my favorites - to You Tube. It's a 1927 song by Fain, Kahal and Dubin. I thought it might be nice to play something that wasn't on a banjo uke, for a change.

I first heard Peter Sellers do this, and I guess now its very much associated with him. I hope you enjoy it.

Aloha John, very nice. Great playing & the tone you used singing kinda had that 20's feel to it. Thanks for sharing & Happy Holidays!

Hey John, that was great. I watched your banjo uke stuff, too. I need to spend more time on right hand strums.

That was just fabulous!! Loved it...I am loving this old music more and more!! even better on the uke..

Gee whiz, guys and gals; I'm floored! Thank you for your encouragement!!

and Happy Holidays back at ya.

I don't think I've ever heard this before (and I am a HUGE Peter Sellers fan!). What a fantastic song! Very very nice. I'm going to have to try to learn this. It sounds great on your Martin. Of course, a banjo uke would also fit it nicely. Excellent work, my good man!

Thanks, Chris. I'll post the chords and lyrics when I get home this evening.

Chords and Lyrics- I swapped out a verse at the end of the first time through and added an extra that Sellers did on his record, then put the original verse back in the second time through.

Added stuff -

(Solo first two verses)

2nd Bridge:
We don't do much spooning...
But we will, I know we will, once we're honeymooning.

I've got an idea soon there'll be
One little, two little, possibly three
I haven't told her, she hasn't told me,
But we know it just the same.

AND Small finish!

Excellent. I love all those old songs. Thanx for the chords!!

Sure, you bet!
