THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
By Felix McClennon. Sung by Miss Nellie Parker.
Say, boys, don't you think the girls
Nice enough for anything,
Nice enough for anything?
Say, boys, don't you think their curls
Nice enough for anything?
And their lips like honey sips, or rosebuds bath'd in dew;
Waiting to be kissed, how can you resist?
Now don t you think they're far too good for you?
Chorus.
Oh, the girls! oh, the girls And the boys! yes the boys!
You will find them together in all sorts of weather;
They go kiss, kiss-yes, they go kiss, kiss;
And they squeeze and they spoon and they sigh-oh, what joys
For the boys are in love with the dear little girls,
And the girls are in love with the boys.
Say, girls, don't you think the boys
Nice enough for anything,
Nice enough for anything?
Say, girls, ain't they pretty toys?
Nice enough for anything.
Lots of cash, a big mustache, to which our lips are pressed;
Arms around us cast, 'tis too sweet to last;
Oh, don't we ladies like to be caressed.-Chorus.
Say, boys, don't you think you are
Far too slow for anything,
Far too slow for anything?
Say, boys, ain't each pretty dear
Ready to do anything?
Single boys, taste the joys that marriage always brings;
For the parson search, take your girls to church,
And on their fingers place the wedding ring.-Chorus.
