Lyrics
- Now Willie Green I think you’re mean
You ran away and hid
You sneaked away the other day
With Nellie, yes, you did
You did, you did, you know you did
You didn’t? oh! such lies
I saw you with my own two eyes
You even hugged and kissed her down the lane
I’m mad, so please don’t speak to me again
Chorus
Smarty, Smarty, Smarty
Thought you had a party
Don’t forget what the teacher taught
You’ll be sorry if you get caught
I’m goin’ to tell your mother
Just see if you don’t care
You’re nothing but a smarty cat
So there, there, there
- Why Annie Brown, how can you frown
That’s not the way to do
There’s not another girl in town
I love like I love you
You’re jealous, “fess” up, honor bright
You know it isn’t right
‘Cause that’s what makes grown-up folks fight
Is kissing such an awful, awful crime?
I knew that you were looking all the time
