Don't You Believe it, Dear Boys.
Copyright, 1885, by Chas. D. Blake & Co.

We tell you we're awfully shy,
Don't you believe it, don't you believe it;
We say that we're glad now to bid you good-bye,
But don't you believe it, dear boys.
You really can't tell half the thoughts we possess,
Some thoughts that not one in a day would confess;
We say that we don't care a snap for dress,
But don't you believe it, dear boys.

Chorus.
For we frown and we say: "Leave -off, get away,
You should not create such a noise;"
How forward you are, I shall tell my mamma,"
Oh, don't you believe it, dear boys.
For we frown And we say: "Leave off, get away,
You should not make such a noise;
How forward you are, I shall call my mamma,"
Oh, don't you believe it, dear boys.

You think when you're wed you'll find ease,
But don't you believe it, don't you believe it;
Stay out late at night and come home when you please,
Now don't you believe it, dear boys.
You think that a woman has no will of her own,
And after she's married won't alter her tone,
And you'll both live together like Darby and Joan,
Now don't you believe it, dear boys.-Chorus.
