What American composer wrote the song Happy Hobo?
- Irving Berlin
- George Gershwin
- Henry Mancini
- Cole Porter
Hi! Welcome back!
I have no idea but I’ll guess #1, Irving Berlin.
-a.s.
I could be wrong myself, but my guess too would be Irving Berlin.
My Dad was a well known radio broadcaster and a musicologist here in my hometown and he had a career in radio that spanned more than 50 years. Dad knew a lot of people in the music and entertainment industry, including Irving Berlin. My Dad would know the answer to this question, but unfortunately he passed away 14 years ago.

Gershwin
Well, I have to admit that I tried cheating and did a Google search. I came up with ZILCH, at least along the lines of the choices presented.
ZILCH must be that Czeck composer? I’ll say Cole Porter, simply because I have no clue.
Gershwin
Google failed me too, and I must have done 30 different searches!
Welcome back, we missed you!

It looks like one should not rely solely on Google. The answer appears to be Mancini. I also found references to Bowles, who is not a choice.
