American Old Time Song Lyrics: 18 Dear Little Duck Of A Girl
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18
DEAR LITTLE DUCK OF A GIRL
Written and sung by Sam Devere.
If ever you saw my girl you'd bust
With love for her I know,
She's sweet as 'lasses, 'deed she is,
And oh, I love her so.
A rosy, posey, nosey girl,
A hunkey, plunkey, spunkey girl,
A feeling, flirting, dashing, doating,
Smiling, smacking, jolly, joking,
Jaunting, jovial, poser, poker,
Whipity, skipity, laughing, joker,
Running, jumping, squealing, dancing,
Singing, whistling, kicking, prancing,
Hootsy, pootsy, tootsy, wootsy,
Dear little duck of a girl.
Sweet as a water-melon patch
Is my sweet Rosalind;
I never feed her on solid grub,
But till her up on wind.
The brightest, fairest, sweetest girl.
The trimmest, gayest, neatest girl.
The funniest, flushest, frankest, fairest,
Roundest, ripest, roguishest, rarest.
Spunkiest, spiciest, squirmest, happiest,
Shortest, thickest, nobbiest, nattiest.
Rollicking, frollocking, tearing, ripping,
Scolloping, walloping, hopping, skipping,
Humpsy, jumpsy, pumpsy, wompsy,
Dear little duck of a girl.
