Words by Richard Morton. Music by Orlando Powell.
Little sweetheart, up above me, come and tell me 'ow yer love me,
Flossie, don't yer be a scorner, I'll wait 'round the Johnny 'orner.
I know, and yer needn't flare up; it's a job to do yer 'air up;

If yer hears me, wave yer flipper, though you're tall and I'm a nipper,
Don't be proud and nasty to me, for my 'eart is yours, yus, bloo me;
Fairer than my words can paint yer, Flossie, you're my sweetheart, ain't yer?- Cho
If young Jimmy Jones should rile yer, tell me and I'll bust his biler,
For I loves yer, and yer knows it, don't care what I does to show it.
Flossie, out 'ere soon be 'opping, tell the dad you're going shopping.
'Urry up, my love, my cherished, for I, well I'm nearly perished;
Fairer than my words can paint yer, Flossie, you're my sweetheart, ain't yer?- Cho
