Subject: [Dixielandjazz] Foolish Questions 

I have a recording of a folk/bluegrass group doing a piece called "Foolish Questions".  When I heard them perform it live they said it was originally a jazz piece from the 20's 0r 30's.  They performed it as a recitation rather than singing it with the melody.  
  

I have the words, I have the chords.  I just don't have the orginal melody.  Does anyone know where I can hear an on-line recording of it? 

The lyrics for the first verse are: 

You've all heard foolish questions and no doubt wonder why, 
Someone will ask you a foolish question but expect a sensible reply 
Like when you take your girl some candy, say, just after tea. 
The first thing she'll do is wrinkle up her nose and ask, "Is it for me?"
