Wodehouse was a swell guy and a swell humorist who wrote a bunch of swell books and also wrote a lot of swell song lyrics, including the classic "Bill," from the swell musical "Show Boat," which became the theme song for a swell singer named Helen Morgan and is still performed today by many other swell singers, usually female.
