I Do, So There! 1897 18 The Belle Of New York

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Aug 2002

[Violet:] I'm weary of being
so prim and sedate
I want to be rackety, clickety, clackety,
whirl me around at a rattling gait,
and let me get rid of the strollers.
Oh, give me a run
that will wear out my shoes,
with a hitiddyiddidy
Jaggedy jiggedy
Give me a whizz that will kill off the blues,
Oh, I want to be one of the rollers.
Oh, I want to see all the sights,
I want to stay out at nights,
I want to see ev'rything daring,
I want to go ev'rywhere tearing.
I'm tired of humdrum things,
I feel as though I had wings
I want to be chummy,
I want to be slummy,
I do, so there!

[All:] Oh, she wants to see all the sights,
She wants to stay out at nights,
She wants to see ev'rything daring,
She wants to go ev'rywhere tearing.
She's tired of humdrum things,
She feels as though she had wings
She wants to be chummy,
She wants to be slummy,
She do, so there!

[Violet:] I've got a good style
when I get on the go,
I can move with the rest of them,
stay with the best of them,
Love to be rapid,
hate ev'rything slow;
It takes a steamengine to catch me,
So come around town
and don't care what we do,
Oh, I'll rush you and razzle you,
crush you and dazzle you,
guess you will find
by the time we get through
that it takes a good sprinter to match me.
Oh, I want to see all the sights,
I want to stay out at nights,
I want to see ev'rything daring,
I want to go ev'rywhere tearing.
I'm tired of humdrum things,
I feel as though I had wings
I want to be chummy,
I want to be slummy,
I do, so there!

[All:] Oh, she wants to see all the sights,
She wants to stay out at nights,
She wants to see ev'rything daring,
She wants to go ev'rywhere tearing.
She's tired of humdrum things,
She feels as though she had wings
She wants to be chummy,
She wants to be slummy,
She do, so there!
