American Old Time Song Lyrics: 18 Three Little Maids From School

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18

Three Little Maids From School.
Sung with great success by Tony Pastor.

Three little maids went skipping by,
Sweet as a slice of cherry pie,
Awfully meek, and very shy,
Three little maids from school.

Naughty boys shouted out, "Ah, there!"
Said they would "steal "these beauties fair,
"Three of a kind, " they beat "two pair,"
Three little maids from school.

Three little maids so light and airy,
Bangs that were dyed a bright canary,
All of them fresh from Tipperary,
Three little maids from school.

One little maid chewed her parasol,
Two little maids hugged a poodle small,
Three little maids carried books for a "stall,"
Three little maids-no fools!

Then three little maids three "noodles " met,
Each on the end of a cigarette;
Soon they "caught on "to the "jays, " you bet,
Time little maids-no fools.

Three little maids so tough and tender.
Out on a beer and ice-cream "bender,"
Each one could guzzle all you'd send her,
Three little maids from school.

Three little maids were asked to dine,
But all you've got they didn't decline;
Broke up these "gawks " on hash and wine,
Three little maids from school.

Then "just for a flyer " sailed away,
All on a ' " jamboree'' that day;
'Spooned "on the boat, the deck-hands say,
Three little maids-no fools.

Three little maids so fresh and merry,
Killed to the necks with quail and sherry;
Having a gay old time-yes, very,
Three little maids-no fools.

One little maid then her "business " knew,
Two little maids saw the "gag " to do;
Three little maids went three pockets, thro'
Three little maids-no fools!

Now, three diamond studs are up the "spout,"
Three watches, ditto, there's no doubt;
Three maids at home, send the "growler " out,
Three little maids-no fools.

Three little "chappies " mash, now never,
Three little maids so "fly " and clever;
Still work the "book bluff "same as ever,
Three little maids from school.
