Sheet music cover with picture of Charlotte Greenwood (1919) "Oh By Jingo! " (also "Oh By Jingo! Oh By Gee You're The Only Girl For Me "), is a 1919 novelty song by Albert Von Tilzer with lyrics by Lew Brown .
The song was featured in the Broadway show "Linger Longer Letty", and became one of the biggest Tin Pan Alley hits of the post-World War I era.
While the song lyrics say it is set in "the land of San Domingo ", no geographic nor anthropological accuracy is found nor intended in the silly lyrics, set in a generic "exotic" and "primitive" location. The song was much imitated over the next decade.
The song appeared several times in film and television: it was performed by Betty Hutton in the film Incendiary Blonde Debbie Reynolds and Bobby Van as a specialty number in the Esther Williams MGM vehicle, Skirts Ahoy! I Love Lucy Hugh Laurie and several other cast members in the television version of P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster
The 1970 song "After All " by David Bowie , from the album The Man Who Sold the World [ 1]
