Gertie Green was spooney
on a fellow by the name
of Algernon, dear Algernon!
But she was Oh! so modest
when with Algernon she strayed,
She always got home early
'ere the light began to fade,
into his dreamy eyes
she'd gaze all day,
but when he asked her for a kiss
she'd twirl her thumbs and say:

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!

Gertie went to Blackpool
for her summer holiday
with Algernon, dear Algernon!
Upon the Scenic Railway
they'd a thre'p'ny ride, but oh!
The train stopped in a tunnel
where the lights were rather low,
"Ah! Isn't this divine, love?"
Algy cried!
Then Gertie laid her shoulder
on his manly breast and sighed:

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!

Gertie had a "lithp"
and when she tied the wedding knot
with Algernon, dear Algernon!
The parson said to Gertie
with a knowing kind of leer:
"Will you accept this man
to be your wedded husband dear?"
She answered:" Yeth pleathe,"
then she dropped her head
but when they got home
from the church
to Algernon she said:

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!

Algernon! Oh Algernon!
I'm fairly gone on you!
When you squeeze my hand
Oh! It feels so grand,
I'll bill and coo
as lovers do,
your knee I'll sit upon,
but to ask me to kiss you
in the twilight,
Algernon! Go Hon!
