| Little Lilly was oh! |
| So silly and shy
|
| And all the fellows knew,
|
| She wouldn’t bill and coo:
|
| Ev’ry single night some smart fellow would try
|
| o cuddle up to her, but she would cry:
|
| «Ma, he’s making eyes at me!
|
| Ma he’s awful nice to me!
|
| Ma he’s almost breaking my heart,
|
| I’m beside him, Mercy!
|
| Let his conscience guide him!
|
| Ma, he wants to marry me,
|
| Be my honey bee.
|
| Ev’ry minute he gets bolder,
|
| Now he’s leaning on my shoulder,
|
| Ma, he’s kissing me!»
|
| Lilly was so good, ev’ry body could tell.
|
| You’d never see her roam,
|
| She’d always stay at home;
|
| All the neighbors knew little Lilly too well.
|
| For when the boys would call, They’d hear her yell:
|
| Ma, he’s making eyes at me!
|
| Ma he’s awful nice to me!
|
| Ma he’s almost breaking my heart,
|
| If you peek in, Can’t you see I’m goin' to weaken?
|
| Ma, he wants to marry me,
|
| Be my honey bee.
|
| Ma, I’m meeting with resistance,
|
| I shall holler for assistance,
|
| Ma, he’s kissing me!" |
