COURTING IN CENTRAL PARK.
Copyright, 1896, by Ida Monroe.
Composed by Ida Monroe.
Ev'ry pleasant evening, shortly after dark,
Boys and girls are strolling off to Central Park;
Charming nooks and by-ways, arbors full of green,
Lots of fine attractions ev'rywhere are seen.
Chorus.
If you'd spark after dark,
As lovers love to do,
Just stroll thro' Central Park
With your sweetheart true;
Many's the stolen kiss,
While out upon a lark;
Such pleasure and bliss with sweet little Miss,
While courting in Central Park.
Birds gay, music trilling, flitting here and there;
Flower-beds a-blossom perfume sweet the air;
Nature's so delightful, lovers love to roam;
Central Park to court in, there they feel at home.- Chorus.
Then when you get married, settled down for life,
Buy a baby carriage, present for your wife,
Send them out for airing, often there to walk,
'Twill bring bappy mem'ries of courting in the Park.- Chorus.
