You Know Who

He had a big schnozzola
and sang with bold hat and smile.
Heard on the old Victrola,
one of his tricks to beguile.

It was fo, lo, dee, oh, do,
in old New Orleans city.
But that was ages ago.
Then, a new little ditty.

It's expressed something like this:
Ink a dink a dink a doo!
Does it mean I want a kiss?
A way to say I love you?

Now you should have won the game
by the funny lyrics shared.
You should have surmised the name
and the middle stanzas spared.

Good night Mrs. Calabash,
wherever you are.
