THE BEAUTY SPOT.
Copyright, 1897, by Spaulding & Gray.
Words by Jack Prendergast. Music by Charles Dolatorre.
I've a little spot right here,
Hidden just behind my ear,
Which half concealing, half revealing, my little curl defends;
This spot is my chief care,
Its beauty is So rare.
On its protection from inspection my very life depends.
Chorus.
No, no, no-o, not so near!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you've no business here;
No, no, no, no, not to-day,
No, no, no, no, no, you must go away!
If a bold bad man should place
A kiss upon my face,
I'd merely say, "Sir, you're too gay, sir, and let it pass with that;
But if by chance, or not,
He kissed my beauty spot.
While lingering near me, he would hear me tell him cold and flat:
Chorus.
No, no, no-o, how do you dare!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 'tis most unfair;
No, no, no, you must go away;
No, no, no, no, go at once, I pray!
I seem to see him here,
The one I love most dear,
He's very near me, oh, dear, dear me, what am I to do?
Oh, he's found my beauty spot!
What shall I do, Oh what?
I can't forget him-oh, shall I let him? Tell me quick, would you?
Chorus.
No, no, no-o, no, not so near!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, please, dear;
No, no, no, no, no, I pray;
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, not to-day!
