old timey music from ss

[jellyman kelly]

hi all, anyone know what the song is that the ss citizens band is playing in the ernie and bert clip? you know when bert is trying to hear 'pigeons in the news' and he asked ernie not to play outside the apartment so they come inside to play...its on youtube.
anyway, is the song they play just written for ss or is it by someone else?
any info would be appreciated!
