Back in Your Own Backyard

"Back in Your Own Backyard" is a popular song. Officially the credits show it as written by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer; in fact, Billy Rose was exclusively a lyricist (see Category:Songs with lyrics by Billy Rose), Dreyer a composer, and Al Jolson a performer who was often given credits so he could earn some more money, so the actual apportionment of the credits would be likely to be music by Dreyer, lyrics by Rose, and possibly some small contribution by Jolson. It has also been recorded by many other singers, including Billie Holiday, as well as Bing Crosby on CBS radio.
