As sung by Harrigan and Hart.

He-Oh? vere is dat leetle deicher darling,
Dcr pootiest littl vaiter-gal of all;
Oh! vere is der pickles by der garteu,
Der mock oranges hanging by der vail?
How sweet she used to vait on der table,
Mit sarsaparilla vater by her tray;
Und sometimes put bottles by der labes,
Ven cfer der boss he vas avay.

Chorus.

Und vat kind of liquors do you like?

A shmack dot vould shoost knock you down.- Chorus.

He-Now, my lore, if you vould understood me,

Ouf you was so kleiner as you could be,

For dere you eat pretzels vere you board,
Und sometimes I blevc you never get her,
Dot ouder deicher gal, Leetle Fraud.
