American Old Time Song Lyrics: 04 Sweet Scented Handsome Young Man
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 4
Sweet Scented Handsome Young Man.
There's a young man who lives in our town,
His name is Adolphus de Anthony Brown;
Among weak-minded females he gains much renown.
This sweet scented handsome young man.
He's bright as a butterfly, his collars are gay,,
He flutters from corner to corner each day,.
He's too sweet for anything that's what all the girls saj',
This sweet scented handsome young man.
Chorus.
He wears a red necktie, his complexion is fair,
Right down the middle he parts his brown hair;
He skips all the gutters like a thing made of air,
This sweet scented handsome young man.
He has a few hairs right on his upper lip,
His legs are the size of a two cent tallow dip,
He looks like a chicken who has just had the pip,
This sweet scented handsome voung man.
If caught in the rain he would surely expire,
Got up expressly or girls to admire;
He can jump through a seive without touching the wire,
This sweet scented handsome young man.-Chorus.
