NELLIE CLANCY'S WALK
Copyright, 1893, by Louis H. Ross & Co.
Words by J. D. Hanlon. Music by Charles Gordon Whitcomb.
There is a charming lady, who is known 'most everywhere.
You can tell her by her many winning ways;
Her name is Nelly Clancy, she has a charming air,
And the neighbors stand by anything she says;
As a leader of the fashions, and all the latest fads,
She's envied by the ladies in the park;
While standing on the corner, you will see her passing there,
And then you hear the people all remark:
Chorus.
There goes Nelly Clancy, and she's leading the style again;
She's the envy of the ladies, and the idol of the men;
Just look at the step she's taking, no wonder the neighbors talk;
The latest fad of the lower five is Nelly Clancy's walk.
There goes Nelly Clancy, and she's leading the style again;
She's the envy of the ladies, and the idle of the men;
Just look at the step she's taking, no wonder the neighbors talk;
The latest fad of the lower five is Nelly Clancy's walk.
She startles all the ladies when upon the avenue;
She causes lots of comment now and then;
Her style is fresh from Paris, it's always something new;
Her manner is a pleasure to the men.
You should see her latest walk, you could tell her everywhere;
To gaze upon its neatness is a treat.
Not a figure in the town with Nelly's can compare.
As you see her graceful walk upon the street- Chorus.
