American Old Time Song Lyrics: 19 Nothing Else
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 19
NOTHING ELSE.
Copyright, 1887. by Chas. D. Blake & Co.
Topical songs are now all the rage,
Nothing else, nothing else;
You hear them so often your brain is quite crazed,
Nothing else, nothing else.
Now a topical song I'll sing you to-night,
Don't throw any eggs, for that wouldn't be right,
You'd spoil this new dress, then I'd look like a fright,
Nothing else, nothing else.
Oh, the dude you will see with high collar and cane,
Nothing else, nothing else;
Doctors say his disease is decrease of the brain,
Nothing else, nothing else.
He sits like a king on a free-luncheon stool,
He glues himself there and fills up like a mule,
I think your opinion must be he's a fool,
Nothing else, nothing else.
All tailors have signs reading, "Cash in Advance,"
Nothing else, nothing else;
How to get a new suit knocks you into a trance,
Nothing else, nothing else.
You go to a picnic to have sport and fun,
While bathing a tramp takes your clothes on a run,
Going home in a barrel to the crowd is great fun,
Nothing else, nothing else.
