There's a Girl in the World for Us All.
Copyright, 1896, by Gagel Brothers.
Words and Music by W C. Davies.

Two friends quarreled one day
About a young girl called Mary:
Tom loved her dearly and Jack did the same.
But he was a little contrary:
Mary told Tom that she loved him the best.
And promised that she'd be his wife:
When Jack heard of this in a passion he flew,
Said: "Our friendship, Tom, ceases for life!"

Refrain.
"Don't be angry with me Jack,
Because I have won Mary:
Come, let us be friends again:
Don't be so contrary;
You tried to win her I know;
She loved me best, after all:
Shake hands And he friends, and remember," said Tom,
"There's a girl in the world for us all."

Said Jack: "I'll co away
Since you've won the heart of Mary."
"Don't go away, Jack, for I'm still your friend;
Why are you so awful contrary:
Soon little Mary and I will be wed
In the church that, stands over the way:
Now promise me, Jack, that my friend still you'll be."
Tom then held out his hand and did say:-Refrain.
