All The Boys Love Mary 1920

Reinie is captivating
Jeanie is fascinating
Gay Babette is such a sly coquette
and sweet Marie
is such a dear little pet,
while little Mary Brown
is the homeliest girl in the town.

But

All the boys love Mary
they follow her around
they chase her all around
Reinie and Jeanie,
Babette and Marie
are crying what's the matter with me?
But all the boys love Mary
and when she laughs
you'd think she's going to cry
but they ain't got what Mary's got
a daddy with a cellar
full of you know what
and all the boys love Mary
coming thro' the Rye.

All the boys love Mary
they used to be content
with half of one percent
Reinie and Jeanie,
Babette and Marie
are serving nothing stronger than tea.
But all the boys love Mary
they know just where to go
when they feel dry
they come in pairs from ev'rywhere
and Mary winks and leads them
down the cellar stairs
and all the boys love Mary
coming thro' the Rye.

Reinie is quite athletic,
Jeanie is sympathetic
Gay Babette at golf is quite a champ
and sweet Marie can
roll her eyes like a vamp.
while little Mary Brown
is a sight in the handsomest gown.

But

All the boys love Mary
they follow her around
they chase her all around
Reinie and Jeanie,
Babette and Marie
are crying what's the matter with me?
But all the boys love Mary
and when she laughs
you'd think she's going to cry
but they ain't got what Mary's got
a daddy with a cellar
full of you know what
and all the boys love Mary
coming thro' the Rye.

All the boys love Mary
they used to be content
with half of one percent
Reinie and Jeanie,
Babette and Marie
are serving nothing stronger than tea.
But all the boys love Mary
they know just where to go
when they feel dry
they come in pairs from ev'rywhere
and Mary winks and leads them
down the cellar stairs
and all the boys love Mary
coming thro' the Rye.
