Leroy Anderson, composer of "Blue Tango" and "Sleigh Ride" had many other fine light orchestral compositions. The link below is a presentation of one of his "novelty" songs, The Typewriter. The link following that is to a full double CD of his compositions. Enjoy.

He's one of my favorites. He went to the office every day - like a 9:00 - 5:00 job - and wrote his quirky songs. I think I have all of his albums. He was a clever guy.
Thanks for the links

Didn't Steve Allen (or another of the early variety shows) use something very similar?? That was a long time ago but I do have a fuzzy memory of another typewriter-inspired composition...

I don't recall that, specifically, but Steve Allen was an incredible talent!
