Alexander "Al" Dubin was an American lyricist. Al Dubin came from a Russian Jewish family that immigrated to the USA from Switzerland when he was two years old. He grew up in Philadelphia. After leaving Perkiomen, Dubin got himself a job as a singing waiter at a Philadelphia restaurant. He continued to write lyrics and tried selling them to area publishing firms. Dubin sold his first set of lyrics for two songs “Prairie Rose” and “Sunray” in 1909 to the Whitmark Music Publishing Firm. The first song they collaborated on was titled, “Too Many Kisses in the Summer Bring Too Many Tears in the Fall.” But it was another song written with Joseph Meyer that same year that became Dubin's first big hit, “A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You.” The song Lullaby of Broadway, which he wrote with Warren for the musical film, Gold Diggers of 1935 won the 1936 Academy Award for Best Original Song.
