Where do they go, those smoke rings I blow each night?
What do they do, those circles of blue and white?
Why do they seem to picture a dream above?
Then why do they fade, my phantom parade of love?
Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff, night and day
Blow, blow them into air, silky little rings
Blow, blow them everywhere, give your troubles wings
Where do they go, those smoke rings I blow each night?
What do they do, those circles of blue and white?
Why do they seem to picture a dream above?
Then why do they fade, my phantom parade of love?
Why do they fade, my phantom parade of love?
Why do they fade, my phantom parade of love?

Written by H. Eugene Gifford & Ned Washington (1932); arranged by Jen Hodge & Arnt Arntzen.
Featured prominently on my most recent album is the irrepressibly spirited clarinet/sax playing of Joe Abbott. He also writes charming acoustic country songs, which will make you both laugh and cry! Jen Hodge All Stars
To my ears, this is the finest album I have played on to date. Greg is spectacular, and the musical chemistry between Jon Doyle and Evan Price is electrifying... in a totally acoustic kind of way! Jen Hodge All Stars
I am a ginormous fan of Albanie Falletta's, and you should be too. She's a masterful interpreter of jazz, blues, and ragtime, AND her wise-beyond-her-years songwriting slays me. Check her out!! Jen Hodge All Stars
