3rd verse should be "I'm gonna send a wire... hoppin' on a flyer..."
a wire: a telegram. a flyer: a fast train.
The vocal introduction seen on the clip from "Orchestra Wives" was not on the 78 rpm record:
"Hey there Tex, how's your new romance? The one you met at the campus dance"
"Wait until you see her, you'll agree, my hometown gal is the only one for me!"
