Key of [C]

Ain’t She Sweet is a song composed by Milton Ager, with lyrics by Jack Yellen. It was published in 1927 by Edwin H. Morris & Co. Inc. & Warner Bros. It became popular in the first half of the 20th century and typified the Roaring Twenties. Like Happy Days Are Here Again (1929), it became a Tin Pan Alley standard. Both Ager and Yellen were elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Milton Ager wrote Ain’t She Sweet for his daughter Shana Ager, who in her adult life was known as the political commentator Shana Alexander.
A version of this song was re-popularized in 1962 by the Beatles.
