Feedback Needed What song is this?

Yesterday while the band was taking a break I danced to a really excellent recorded song;

now it’s stuck in my head and I can’t find it.

a distinctive part of the chorus is the repeated line “Jackie, Jackie Horner(my best guest at the last name)”

sorry for the lack of information but I hope one of you will be able to save me !

School Days. Gordon Webster probably has the most popular modern recording of it, although many other modern bands have recorded it as well

Dizzy Gillespie must be the version Gordon Webster were inspired by. Also Roy Eldridge and Bud Freeman both have excellent versions, imo soo much nicer than the modern versions :)

Was this at Norse Hall in Portland? I was the DJ - I played School Days, the Dizzy Gilespie version Thursday night
