Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 56

I'M A POPULAR MAN.
Copyright, 1897, by Geo. I. Spaulding.
Words by Sidney Rosenfeld. Music by Ludwig Englaender.

They call me a popular man, they do, a popular, popular man,
I've a plan of my own and I'll tell it to you, each a popular, popular man,
I give parties and balls at a terrible rate,
I keep open house with no latch on the gate,
I have money to burn, which I burn while you wait,
I'm a popular, popular man, a popular, popular man.

Chorus.
I'm a popular, popular, popular man,
I'm built on a popular, popular plan;
They will stick to me fondly with never a doubt,
They will stick just as long as my money holds out;
I'm a popular, popular, popular, popular, popular, popular man,
I'm a popular, popular, popular, popular, popular, popular man.

I patronize science, I patronize art, I'm a popular, popular man,
I lie awake nights just a opening my heart, I'm a popular, popular man;
I have fitted out poets who were struck on the Muse,
And artists, and singers, and speakers with views,
I've started a whole crop of Chauncey Depew's,
I'm a popular, popular man, a popular, popular man.- Chorus.
