IT'S DUDISH, YOU KNOW.
Copyright, 1883, by Chas. D. Blake & Co.

Just look at my shape and you'll certainty say,
If's dudish, by Jove! real dudish, you know;
That such a nice figure ain't seen every day,
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.
You see I am framed in such delicate style,
That I'm really forced to move slow;
I'm sure I should wither in walking a mile,
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.

Refrain.
It's dash, by Jove! it's dudish, you know,
All plain Yankee notions are awfully slow;
Dear boys, don't cher know our styles all the go?
It's dudish, by Jove! oh, it's dudish, you know.

I dress in the fashion, and you will agree,
It's dudish, by Jove! real dudish, you know;
That no fellow's tailor can rig him like me,
It's dudish, real dudish. you know.
My bill for my clothing is just like myself,
in paying it I move so slow;
My tailor would gladly lay both on the shelf.
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.-Refrain.

The ladies all love me and call me "a dear,"
I'm dudish, by Jove! real dudish, you know;
And when they caress me I feel awful queer,
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.
They say, Ain't he cunning, he's such a cute air?
While kisses on me they bestow;
And with their soft lingers they bang my front hair.
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.-Refrain.

I eat angel cake, and I'm fond of ice cream,
It's dudish, by Jove! real dudish, you know;
If offered a beefsteak I know I should scream,
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.
I'm really aesthetic, on roses I dote,
And lilies with petals of snow;
And the sweet little bird with melodious throat,
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.-Refrain.

I've got a nice poodle that's awfully sweet,
It's dudish. by Jove! real dudish, you know;
I take him along when I go on the street,
He's dudish, real dudish, you know.
He's got a blue blanket embroidered with red,
And it weally confuses me so;
I don't know which they mean when the ladies call, Fwed!
It's dudish, real dudish, you know.- Refrain.
