Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip!
"Good Morning Mr. Zip-Zip-Zip" is a ragtime song published as sheet music in 1918 by Leo Feist Inc. of New York City. It was one of the most popular tunes with United States soldiers during the World War I era.
According to the sheet music, it was "written around a Fort Niagara fragment" by Robert Lloyd, "Army song leader." In 1918, both Victor Records (VI18510) and Columbia Records (A-2530) issued a recording of the song by Arthur Fields and the Peerless Quartet. It was sung (in part) in John Cassavetes' film Husbands (film).
It was parodied by the Washington DC group Bill Holland and Rent's Due as "Good Mornin' Mr. Snip Snip Snip." The chorus of the Tom Waits song "Barbershop" contains the lines "Good morning, Mister snip snip snip/With your hair cut just as short as mine."

through sames of am through haves of give,
singing each morning out of each night
my father moved through depths of height”
