Winking At Me - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
WINKING AT ME. 
Kind friends, your attention I'll ask for awhile, And I'll try to amuse you in my simple style; To sing to you nightly it's a pleasure, I see, For the gents in the house all keep winking at me. 
Chorus. Winking at me, winking at me, Now, how can I sing while you're winking at me? 
There's a gentleman sitting down there at the right. He came here to-day in a terrible plight; He's lately been jilted by a fair one you see, And now he comes here and keeps w-inking at me.-Chorus. 
Mr. ----, our leader, as every one knows, Has lately contrived to let his moustache grow; He's got a nice wife and big children three, Now, how can he play while he's winking at me?-Chorus. 
There's a gentleman there now, who should be at borne Rocking the cradle of babes he does own. Spoken-Yes, that gentleman there who wears the blue cravat and has a rose in his buttonhole. No wonder you blush, sir, married man as you be, To sit there all night and keep winking at me.-Chorus. 
There's a gent sitting there, dressed with elegant taste, By the side of a lady, his arm 'round her waist, An artful deceiver I fear he must be, For while he makes love to her, he keeps winking at me.-Chorus. 
And now to conclude with my silly rhymes, I hope I've not offended or wasted my time, Twas meant in a jest, for you plainly can see, There's a boy in the gallery keeps winking at me.-Chorus.
