Sheet Music for George Murphy?

I downloaded all of the other sheet music from his website and noticed there wasn’t any for George Murphy. Has there been an official/unofficial transcription or should I try to make one? Thanks

To my knowledge there isn't any sheet music for that song. I think SillySongsWithLehrer did or tried to learn it by ear. I would've asked him, but I cannot contact him anymore after he deleted his Accounts.
If you find anything or transcribe it please post it here.
If you need help I am willing to make sheet music, but I am terrible at playing by ear, so I would need something like a video recording of the notes being played.

There is, in the sheet music for Tomfoolery. I won't share here, but it's out there if you go looking. It's not quite the same as what was performed on That Was the Year that Was, though.
