Algy 1909 'Old Dutch'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Jan 2004

With simple unaffected grace,
I walk forth ev'ry day,
My bright homemade Adonis face
with smiles lights up the way,
my pose is oh! so dignified,
my clothes are extra smart,
and ev'ry "googoo" glance I give,
breaks some poor lady's heart,
poor lady's heart.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.

I chum with all the younger set,
I chum with Lords and Earls,
But most of all I like to chum
with sweet and pretty girls.
They think my altitudious form
is quaint and cute and queer,
and ev'ry girlie says,
she'd like to have me call her dear,
to call her dear.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.

The ladies, bless them, call me grand,
they also call me chic,
and when I walk the Boulevard,
my neighborhood they seek.
I get a sweet and loving glance
from ev'ry dainty miss,
and one and all declare,
that I am sweet enough to kiss,
enough to kiss.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.

Algy, you're a perfect fool,
Algy, you're a clown,
Algy, you're the funniest boy,
that ever came to town.
Algy dear, you make me laugh,
Algy makes me cry,
but ev'ry girl says,
Algy is the apple of her eye,
The apple, the apple,
the apple of her eye.
ALGY, the apple of her eye.
