I don't believe that I said it may have several different lyrics.  I do
believe that I said it has several different titles.

Besides "When The Gang's All Gone Home" it is also referred to as "The
Torch" and very rarely "The Kansas City Torch."

When I had my radio show in Los Angeles, I used Monty Ballou's Castle Jazz
Band version as part of my closing theme.  It is really my favorite.  It 
starts out with a nickel going into a juke box.

I am sure that Turk Murphy also recorded it.

I am sure that both recordings can be easily purchased somewhere on the
Internet.
