From Wikipedia:

“‘Deed I Do” is a 1926 jazz standard composed by Fred Rose with lyrics by Walter Hirsch. It was introduced by vaudeville performer S. L. Stambaugh and popularized by Ben Bernie’s recording. It was recorded by influential clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman as his debut recording in December 1926 with Ben Pollack and His Californians. Ruth Etting’s rendition of the song became a top ten hit in 1927 as did the version by Johnny Marvin.
