In 1907 John Bratton wrote Teddy Bear Picnic, and is his best known composition
of 250 songs and broadway musicals. The original title was The Teddy Bear Two Step.
Teddy Bear Picnic was featured in silent movies of the 1920's.
Irish born Jimmy Kennedy, working in England, wrote the lyrics to Teddy Bear Picnic
in 1932.
So - If I am reading this correctly, the music was written in 1907 and the lyrics in 1932..... wow - that's amazing.
