All Down Piccadilly 1910

You've heard of me, of course,
I'm London's latest whim,
I've made a hit, in fact I'm 'it'
or rather I am 'Him'
The girls all chase me 'round
I've not an hour to spare.
And when I wish to be alone,
they ring me up by telephone,
'O Naughty One, Mayfair'
'O Naughty One Mayfair!'
And ladies whisper
'Are you there,
O Naughty, Naughty One, Mayfair?'

All 'round Piccadilly,
dilly, dilly, dilly
'round by the Park,
you'll see ladies
running after little Willie
till it gets dark!
I just simply shillyshally, shallyshilly
I'm fancy free,
So, though they try to win and woo me,
though in thousands they pursue me,
they can't catch me!

All 'round Piccadilly,
dilly, dilly, dilly
'round by the Park,
you'll see ladies
running after little Willie
till it gets dark!
I just simply shillyshally, shallyshilly
I'm fancy free,
So, even if they suffragette me
I don't think they'll ever get me,
they can't catch me!

With Lady Vere de Vere
I'm quite a household pet,
I've been pursued by Ermyntrude,
and kissed by Violet!
With Ethelwyn and Maud
I'm very much all there,
And Christobel rang up to say
'Come round to lunch at Holloway'
O Naughty One Mayfair
O Naughty One Mayfair!
Her feeding tube she wants to share
with Naughty Naughty One Mayfair!'

All 'round Piccadilly,
dilly, dilly, dilly
'round by the Park,
you'll see ladies
running after little Willie
till it gets dark!
I just simply shillyshally, shallyshilly
I'm fancy free,
So, though they try to win and woo me,
though in thousands they pursue me,
they can't catch me!

All 'round Piccadilly,
dilly, dilly, dilly
'round by the Park,
you'll see ladies
running after little Willie
till it gets dark!
I just simply shillyshally, shallyshilly
I'm fancy free,
So, even if they suffragette me
I don't think they'll ever get me,
they can't catch me!
