Alexander And His Clarinet 1910

Alexander Adams played a clarinet,
brought out music that no one has brought out yet,
Miss Eliza Johnson was his angel pet,
and Alexander was her one best bet;
strange to say they quarrelled on last Sunday night,
Monday evening Alexander came in sight,
played his clarinet beneath her window light,
to hear Eliza yell with all her might.

Honey, is that you?
yes, yes, didn't even have to guess,
my honey, what brought you?
Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet,
my honey, I'm angry, no, no,
for lawdy sake don't dare to go,
my pet, I love you yet,
and then besides,
I love your clarinet.

Honey, is that you?
yes, yes, didn't even have to guess,
my honey, what brought you?
Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet,
my honey, I'm angry, no, no,
for lawdy sake don't dare to go,
my pet, I love you yet,
and then besides,
I love your clarinet.

Alexander played his clarinet with vim,
up to Liza's door, then played himself right in,
When he got inside he played and played like sin,
then played her cards to see who'd buy the gin;
when he left, Miss Liza tried some sleep to get,
dreamt her Romeo came back to Juliet,
also dreamt he brought with him his clarinet,
if no one woke her, she'd be shoutin' yet.

Honey, is that you?
yes, yes, didn't even have to guess,
my honey, what brought you?
Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet,
my honey, I'm angry, no, no,
for lawdy sake don't dare to go,
my pet, I love you yet,
and then besides,
I love your clarinet.

Honey, is that you?
yes, yes, didn't even have to guess,
my honey, what brought you?
Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet,
my honey, I'm angry, no, no,
for lawdy sake don't dare to go,
my pet, I love you yet,
and then besides,
I love your clarinet.
