Lyrics
- Said she, “my dear, it seems so queer
I can’t please you at all
You say you’re hurt, because I flirt
Let other fellows call
I bead my eyes, I act too wise
My manners are too bold
What girl would do, please tell me do?”
He said, “that’s eas’ly told”
Chorus
Any little girl, that’s a nice little girl
Is the right little girl for me
She don’t have to look like a girl in a book
If a good cook she should be
She don’t have to wear rats in her hair
Or a straight front X. Y. Z.
Any little girl, that a nice little girl
Is the right little girl for me
- Miss Newly wed, to hubby said
In a Pullman parlor car
“I’m going out, to look about
Just sit right where you are”
She did not come, he said, at one
“Please porter find my bride”
“She left you flat, who shall I get?”
Then Newlywed replied
