Nellie Daily's Dad - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
NELLIE DAILY'S DAD. Copyright, 1893, by Spaulding & Kornder. Words and Music by Wm. B. Glenroy and Frank Dumont. 
I love a little lady, Nellie Daily is her name, She's very neat, refined and sweet, to marry is our aim; Her mother has consented and I wish her father had; Of course, my object is to try and please Miss Daily's dad. 
Chorus. I love Nellie better far than life; She has promised soon to he my wife, But her father may prefer some other lad-That is why I'm so polite to Nellie Daily's dad. 
Whene'er I meet him on the street his hand I shake and say: Why, Mister Daily, bless my soul, you're looking fine to-day. I buy for him the best cigars: when parting say I'm sad, Because I always try my best to please Miss Daily's dad.-Chorus.
