I Kissed Her Under the Parlor Stairs. Copyright, 1886, by F. Harding. 
Oh! the happiest time that ever I spent, Was under the parlor stairs, In the nights that I a courting went, Under the parlor stairs. Oh! a barrel of beer in the corner stood, Beside some penny bundles of wood, And I vowed I'd marry the cook, I would. Under the parlor stairs. 
Chorus. Oh! I kissed her under the lilac tree, I kissed her under the rose; I kissed her under the balcony, I kissed her under the nose. I kissed her over the garden wall, I kissed her unawares; But, oh! the sweetest kiss of all Was under the parlor stairs. 
Oh! she gave me the best of everything, Under the parlor stairs; The breast of a duck, or a leg or a wing, Under the parlor stairs. So I bad a "whack," though I didn't get beat, That is to say I'd a "whack "to cat; And I found a "good hiding" quite a treat, Under the parlor stairs.-Chorus. 
Oh! I heard the bobby say once to Sue, I wa3 under the parlor stairs, Shall I come in for a minute or two, Under the parlor stairs? But Susan replied, so that I could hear, I should like for to ask you in, my dear. But a man is here looking after the beer, Under the parlor stairs.-Chorus. 
One night the confounded dog would bark, Under the parlor stairs: And the master caught me in the dark. Under the parlor stairs. But Sue said: It's all through the missis, Sir, For she wouldn't allow no follower; But I would have one in spite of her, Under the parlor stairs.-Chorus. 
And now we're married, but we sometimes meet Under the parlor stairs; For my wife will say: Come along, my sweet, Under the parlor stairs. Now we'll have a cosy cup of tea, And I'll sit again upon your knee, And think of the time when you courted me. Under the parlor stairs.-Chorus.
