Back Numbers in my Little Red Book

a 1922 popular song

Accompaniment:


Lyrics

When I look into my little address book
And read of you and you
I feel a tingle, jingle
But I soon am going on my honeymoon
So I am through with you
I’m now compelled to tell you

Refrain
That you’re all back numbers
In my little red book
I can be true, to none of you
Hopes are dashed asunder
I can tell by your look
Your loyalty is very sweet to me
Maybe some day there’ll be some way
That we can meet
If mine and me, do not agree
So remember marriage blunders
And you may not be back numbers
In my little red book
