- A graduate of Colby College (class of 1933), Lee Morris was a history teacher in a high school in Boston, Massachusetts. In the 1940s he began writing parody lyrics to pop songs for night club performers. Later he wrote entire shows and staged them in Boston, New York and Florida. In 1948 he had his first successful original song, "If I Only Had a Match," which was recorded by Al Jolson.
