Lyrics
- Little Mis Cecilia Green
Little over sweet sixteen
But the cutest flapper, that you’ve ever seen
When the fellows pass her by
She will always wink her eye
When she talks to them
When she walks with them, this is what they all cry
Chorus
Does your Mother know you’re out Cecilia
Does she know that I’m about to steal you
Oh, my when I look in your eyes
Something tells me you and I should get together
How about a little kiss Cecilia
Just a kiss you’ll never miss Cecilia
Why do we two keep on wasting time
Oh, Cecilia, say that you’ll be mine
- Many funny things occur
While the boys are courting her
I refer to one case, in particular
She went with a boy named Joe
Who was always lisping so
When he’d ask this miss
For a little kiss, it would sound just like this
