How about When the Morning Glories Wake Up in the Morning, Then I'll Kiss Your Two Lips Goodnight. I got accused of making that song title up quite recently,

Jim, you should have directed your doubting friend to the song on Youtube. Here's Oreste and his Queensland Orchestra on Edison DD 52169-L:

And here's the Brunswick rendition by the Clevelanders:

How about:

"Oh! What Big Eyes You Have Oh! What Sweet Lips You Have Oh! If I Only Had You"

I have a Brunswick record with this song (by Ben Selvin) and they printed the complete title on the label. I believe the Victor recording by Ted Weems simply was called "Oh, If I Only Had You".

Howzabout 'Who Played Poker With Pochahontas (When John Smith Went Away)?' and the similar and even more suggestive 'Who Ate Napoleon's Josephines (When Napoleon Was Away)?'

How about Brunswick #3028, recorded in January 1926 by Ray Miller and his Orchestra, entitled "No!"
