You Can Do It, If You Want To. 
I once was deep in love with a charming little dear, And when in her society I always felt so queer, I mustered up my cluck and asked her for a kiss, She blushed and hesitated, and answered like this: 
Chorus. You can do it, if you want to, For I really can't resist you; You are such a charming fellow, To refuse you is absurd. 
As time passed on I found I'd have to get a wife, I asked her if she'd like to be my better half thro' life; Her answer was, yes, so to papa I went, As I'd money plenty, why, he quickly gave consent. Spoken- Yes, as I was well fixed, so I asked the old gent for his daughter's hand, heart and so forth. "Well, I've no objection, of course; you know Galatea hasn't any money, but as you love her, why, that don't make any difference, and as to marrying her my dear boy, why, " -Chorus. 
I went with rapid steps to tell her of my plan, And found her sitting on the lap of a handsome looking man; I scarce believed my eyes, and started with dismay, And as she whispered in his ear, I plainly heard her say: 
Spoken- "Nevermind, Charley, even if I do marry that snoozer. it won't make any difference, I'll love you just the same as ever." Jemess River! wasn't I mad; I told her she was false to me and that I would never marry her, that I would not believe her if she'd make a statement; and as for Charley, why, he could have her and welcome. I told her I would leave, and she would never set her eyes on me again. I hope I may never if she didn't say:- Chorus. 
The moral of my talc you all can plainly see, Don't marry any girl, my boys, tho' handsome she may be, Unless she love but you, I guess you'll find I'm right, They're bound to have a Charley when you're out of sight. 
Spoken-Yes, and till I've got to say is, if any of you chaps want to marry such a girl as that, why,-Chorus.
