I’ve googled what I can remember of the chorus of this song but I’ve had no luck at all. It was a record we had when I was a small child and I played it over and over again on my dad’s 78 RPM record player that he got as a gift from his parents when he graduated from university in 1946.

I used to play it over and over until I darned near wore it out. I was probably like 4 or 5 years old and it was probably several years old then. It’s probably over 65 years since I’ve heard it and all I can remember is the chorus which went something like this:

“Don’t touch it, just leave it alone, don’t touch it, hey hey, you’ll get it, when daddy gets home, if you don’t mind what I sayyyy, hey, hey”.

I could be mistaken on some of the wording but it went something like that. Like I stated, google has been zero help so I thought I’d ask folks on this message board as so many of you are quite up on trivia answers.

Could you supply any more clues … what genre was it, what era etc  
If you remember the tune could you hum/whistle it into  
[https://vocaroo.com](https://vocaroo.com) or recreate it in [https://onlinesequencer.net/](https://onlinesequencer.net/)  
You could also ask on the [Name That Song](https://www.reddit.com/r/NameThatSong/) Sub Reddit. There are a few oldies fans there.

That vocaroo thing recorded perfectly. What’s done with it then?

Can you post a link to it here ?  
(In vocaroo, when you’ve recorded, click on share, then click the copy  
button to the right of the link (the [https://voca](https://voca)… thing), then paste  
it back here.)

When you’ve finished recording (by pressing the red button), you should see a button  
which says “Save & Share \>\>”  
If you click that you should see a new little popup which shows the link to your  
recording, and to the right of that link there should be small button with 2 overlapping  
squares on it. Click that to copy the address to your clipboard. Then back here  
you just paste it in your reply (CtrlV)

The options I see are QR code, embed, download and delete. Nothing says “share” or “save”
