| Nellie Green met Harry Lee
|
| At a masquerade the other night
|
| He liked she and she liked he Just a case of love at single sight
|
| He took Nellie home that eve
|
| Also took the number of her phone
|
| Just before he took his leave
|
| Nellie whispered in the cutest tone
|
| Call me up some rainy afternoon
|
| I’ll arrange for a quiet little spoon
|
| Think of all the joy and bliss
|
| We can hug and we can talk about the weather
|
| We can have a quiet little talk
|
| I will see that my mother takes a walk
|
| Mum’s the word when we meet
|
| Be a mason, don’t repeat
|
| Angel eyes, are you wise?
|
| Goodbye
|
| He look’d wise, then looked for rain
|
| Sure enough it rained that Saturday
|
| «Give me three, four, five, six Main
|
| Nellie dear, prepare I’m on my way»
|
| When he rang the front door bell
|
| No one there responded to his call
|
| Soon he heard his pretty Nell
|
| Singing to somebody in the hall
|
| Call me up some rainy afternoon
|
| Then again how’s the evening for a spoon
|
| Call around tomorrow night
|
| We can then put out that fire in the furnace
|
| My mama will sure be out of town
|
| She’ll be entertained by Mister Brown
|
| My Papa won’t be 'round, he will call on Missus Brown
|
| Angel pet, don’t forget
|
| Goodbye |
