I've got a fragment of this starting off a Boswell Sisters medley along with "Put That Sun Back in the Sky," from 1932. Anybody know the rest of the "Bubbles" song? It starts off with a I chord, then a flatted I7.

The Boswell sisters, Vet, Connie and Martha were for sure a hot jazz voicing group in their era. It's quite suprising that many people know of them. Do a search on google for Boswell sisters, there are a lot of sites. Perhaps you'll get the answer there.

Thanks, Ken. I'll keep searching. A singer I play with came up with a Boswell Sisters collection CD and has us working up "Put That Sun Back in the Sky" (1932). That song was also done by Roane and the Pennsylvanians (also 1932). But the Boswell Sisters' version is actually a medley arrangement by Glen Miller. It starts with a couple verses of "If you're Happy Blowing Bubbles" and I was just wondering how that whole song goes and who had the original version. Who knows, maybe Glen Miller made it up just for the Boswell Sisters.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the old Jim Brockman song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles"?
