It is now generally accepted that the Melroses were leeches who added their 
execrable "words" unbidden by the composers of the works they published thus 
securing a valuable portion of the copyright. I have been in and around jazz for 
53 years and have never heard the lyrics to "Sugar Foot Stomp" nor wish to. 
The record of ASCAP in protecting composers in the 1920s and 30s is less than 
perfect
