The song begins on the fifth degree of the scale on the first beat of the 

 measure and apparently ends on the third, with the refrain. This is the general 

 level. The melodic changes from verse to verse are quite frequent but the 

 regularity of metre and form is very unusual. The song is quite as regular in 

 tempo as in these other respects. Ordinarily there are slight shifts or increases 

 in speed as a song proceeds. This is due, no doubt, in part, to nervousness or 

 to the disconcerting effect of singing into a phonograph.
