Doodle Doo Doo
Words and Music by Art Kassel & Mel. Stitzel

Lyrics here:

(Scat singing)

I've just heard a melody
That is always haunting me

Funny little strain
Running thru my brain
It's as sweet as can be

It has such a pleading way
Though it's with me night and day
When I hear someone playing
I walk right up and say


Please play for me
That sweet melody
Called Doodle Doo-Doo Doodle Doo-Doo

I like the rest
But what I like best Is doodle doo-doo
Doodle doo doo
Simplest thing, There's nothing much to it
Don't have to sing, just doodle doo doo it
I love it so
Wherever I go
doodle doo doo doodle doo doo doo

(Scat singing)

Miss ??? Went out with a show
Called doodle doo-doo, doodle doo-doo
She made a hit, while playing a fit
In doodle doo-doo, doodle doo-doo

Twenty Four weeks
That’s all there was to it
But how in the world does she doodle-doo do it

Got a Rolls Royce, but not with her boys(?)

(doodle doo-doo)

Jack Pepper began entertaining on the vaudeville circuit
in his youth with his sisters Helen and Winnie Mae.

He first came to national prominence in the 1920s as part of the duo
Salt & Pepper with Frank Kurtz (Salt).
Pepper sang and played ukulele in a style similar to that of Cliff Edwards as well as performed comic and dance bits.
Salt and Pepper appeared prominently in Broadway revues, made radio broadcasts, and recorded a number of sides for Cameo Records and later on Brunswick records from 1924-1926.

On September 21st, 1925 Kultz and Culpepper recorded “Holdin' the sack” and “That's my baby” at the Victor studio in New York City. Unfortunately neither of these sides were released.

A cameo version of “Holdin’ the Sack” was released sometime in 1924 on Cameo 609

In 1940, he appeared in the Bing Crosby film “Rhythm On The River” and “Road To Singapore”, the first Bob Hope–Bing Crosby “Road” Picture.
Drafted during World War II, he toured with the USO and became a Sgt in the US army.

Pepper continued as a film and television character actor into the 1960s.
He made three guest appearances during the 1964–1965 final season of
The Jack Benny Progam. He was seen with Academy Award winner Lee Marvin in the 1965 hit comedy Cat Ballou.
Throughout his career, Jack Pepper appeared in 10 Bob Hope features
including the 1969 comedy How To Commit Marriage, his final role.

He is buried at the Forrest Lawn Hollywood Hills Cemetery in Los Angeles.
