OH! MAMMA, BUY ME THAT.

Words and .Music by Al. Himan.
There is a saying far and wide
That one hears ev'ry day, .
'Tis spoke by babies, dudes, dudines,
Go wander where you may.
If you have something new to wear,
Kid gloves, fine coat or hat.
You won't go far before you hear:
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Chorus.
Oh! mamma, oh! mamma,
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Oh mamma, oh! mamma.
Now, won't you buy me that?
Mn, mn, mn, yum. yum. yum;
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Oh! wouldn't I like to own it;
Mamma, buy me that!
The little tot, whose good mamma
When going out to shop.
Shows baby all the pretty things,
And he with glee does hop.
No matter what the rascal sees,
You're sure to hear the brat -
He pulls and tugs and shouts aloud:
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Chorus.
Oh! mamma, oh! mamma,
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Oh! mamma, oh! mamma,
Now, won't you buy me that?
Mn, mn, mn, yum. yum. yum;
Oh! mamma, buy me that!
Oh! mamma, I won't break it;
Mamma, buy me that!
A fresh young man, dressed spick And span,
While walking down the street,
He met a girl who wore a curl
That almost touched her feet.
He straightened out his dudish form,
To her he tipped his hat,
She looked at him. then laughed and said:
Oh! mamma, buy me that! Chorus.
"When dudes meet dudines on the street,
They impudently stare,
They hold their "glawses "to their eyes,
Twirl mustache of two hair.
The darlings thus encourage them,
Then flirt with treat eclat,
And then they ridicule them with:
Oh! mamma, buy me that!-Chorus.
