All For The Love Of Mike 1922

My sister Kate gave a party last night,
and all of her girl friends were there,
They spoke about all of the chances they had,
to marry some big millionaire,
Mary O'Brien said: "Girls I'm not lyin'
but I gave up beaus by the score."
Then my sister Katie said:
"Listen, my lady,
what I did for one I adore."

I gave up Jimmy Rogers,
who owns two garages
all for the love of Mike,
I gave up Tim McIver,
the taxicab driver,
all for the love of Mike.
I've had offers from this one
and offers from that one,
Now you can think just what you like.
And by gosh I'm not joshin'
I'm takin' in washin'
All for the love of Mike.

I gave up Jimmy Rogers,
who owns two garages
all for the love of Mike,
I gave up a swell sailor,
a doctor and tailor,
all for the love of Mike.
I've had butchers and bakers
and candle stick makers
Now you can think just what you like
Mary Pickford sent her thanks
'cause I gave up Fairbanks
all for the love of Mike.

All of her girl friends
just laughed right out loud,
when my sister told her romance,
They said: "Kate, I'll bet that
you felt mighty proud,
you sure gave up many a chance!"
After the party
they felt good and hearty,
for, oh what a time they had all,
'twas late in the evening
and as they were leaving,
they started to sing in the hall.

I gave up Jimmy Rogers,
who owns two garages
all for the love of Mike,
I gave up Tim McIver,
the taxicab driver,
all for the love of Mike.
I've had offers from this one
and offers from that one,
Now you can think just what you like.
And by gosh I'm not joshin'
I'm takin' in washin'
All for the love of Mike.

I gave up Jimmy Rogers,
who owns two garages
all for the love of Mike,
I gave up a swell sailor,
a doctor and tailor,
all for the love of Mike.
I've had butchers and bakers
and candle stick makers
Now you can think just what you like
Mary Pickford sent her thanks
'cause I gave up Fairbanks
all for the love of Mike.
