Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 6

LOVE SONG.

Love, love oh, what is love?
Love it is that makes a man feel so peculiar;
Oh, love who does not love

A. Maud, a Matilda, a June, or a Julia?
Love it is, and love alone,
That makes the world go round and round,
Love is certain to so known
Where a woman's to so found;
When one has the first attack,
It's like-Raspberry Jam running down one's back!

Chorus.
Oh, love beautiful love!
Love 'tis that makes a man feel so peculiar;
Oh, love! beautiful love!
A man's but a foul if ho falls In love.

Oh, love when you'ro in love!
To presents, to parties, to picnics you treat her.
Oh, love! just squeeze her glove.
And you feel lust as tho' you'd like to eat her.
But the best of loves must part,
Then an end comes to your bliss,
You press the dear one to your heart,
And take from her the parting kiss;
You bid her good-bye at the door,
With another sly kiss and two or three more.-Chorus.

Oh, love when you're In love,
Every half hour you'd go to court her,
But oh, love! if she won't love.
You talk about drowning yourself in cold water;
If it's all right, she'll giggle and say:
"Please ask father if I may"
Then you feel so jolly And gay,
And tease her till she names the day;
You'll serenade her when she's a-bed,
And her dad drops flower-pots on your head.-Chorus.

Oh, love! when you've your love.
Out all the money you have, you may ladle-
Servants, dresses, parties, and balls,
Perhaps each year a cherub to lay in the cradle;
When the honeymoon is past,
Then you're eyes are not so blind,
Your dream was far too good to last
And your face grows long to find;
Your looked-for happiness begins.
With a mother-in-law and beautiful twins. - Chorus.

Chorus.
Oh, love luxurious love!
Love 'tis that makes a man feel so peculiar;
Oh, love! beautiful love!
The world would so dreary wer't not for love.
