''I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'' is a popular song, written in 1919 by Jaan Kenbrovin (a collective pseudonym for the writers James Kendis , James Brockman and Nat Vincent ) and John Kellette . The copyright to ''I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'' was originally registered in 1919, and was owned by the Kendis-Brockman Music Co. Inc . This was transferred later that year to Jerome H. Rernick & Co. of New York and Detroit. When the song was written, James Kendis, James Brockman, and Nat Vincent all had separate contracts with publishers, which led them to use the name Jaan Kenbrovin for credit on this song. James Kendis and James Brockman were partners in the Kendis-Brockman Music Company. The Waltz was a major Tin Pan Alley hit, and was performed and recorded by most major singers and bands of the late 1910s and early 1920s . The song also became a hit with the public in British Music Hall s and theatres during the early 1920s. Dorothy Ward was especially renowned for making the song famous with her appearances at these venues. The song was a hit for Ben Selvin 's Novelty Orchestra in 1919. The Original Dixieland Jass Band recording of the number is an unusual early example of Jazz in 3/4 time. The song is now better known as the club anthem of West Ham United , who currently play in the Premier League . It was adopted by supporters in the late 1920s. As a tribute to West Ham, the Punk Rock band the Cockney Rejects covered the song in 1980 . LYRICS Verse 1 I'm dreaming dreams I'm scheming schemes I'm building castles high They're born anew Their days are few Just like a sweet butterfly And as the daylight is dawning They come again in the morning Chorus I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air They fly so high Nearly reach the sky Then like my dreams They fade and die Fortune's always hiding I've looked everywhere I'm forever blowing bubbles Pretty bubbles in the air NOTABLE RECORDINGS Notable recordings of the song include:
