A Starry Night and a Beautiful Girl.
Copyright, 1895, by Howard & Co.
Written and Composed by Sam Bagnall
A starry night and a beautiful girl,
A shady lane and a flowery dell,
A rosy bower, now isn't it bliss,
A silent hour and a sweet little kiss,
The light of her eye is a fairy lamp.
The rose on her cheek, how sweet and damp,
Her beautiful lips so often entice
Those rip-a-chip chips, now isn't it nice-
Chorus.
A starry night and a beautiful girl,
A shady lane and a flowery dell,
A rosy bower, now isn't it bliss,
A silent hour and a sweet little kiss.
A beautiful form, and rather shy,
A pearly tooth and a diamond eye,
A ruby lip. and a rosy cheek,
A boot with a tip and a weasel squeak,
She's a wopsy's waist, and golden hair.
She's cherry ripe and lily fair,
And the panting heart or a turtle dove,
A fairy hand and sixes glove.- Chorus.
There's Julia Jane, O isn't she a lamb?
Clara Vane and rollicking Sam.
Lots of cash and plenty or cham,
Going to smash, for yammey, yam, yam,
Sweet cigarette, Havana cigar.
Dear little pet and his la, di, da;
Come along, do, don't tell your ma,
But I know a thing much better by far.- Cho.
