Alma 1910

Why are the men so bold?
Why do they stare at me?
Despite my manner cold,
They flirt outrageously.
They smirk and smile and sigh,
Before me they appear,
And when I try to pass them by
They whisper shyly in my ear.

Alma, sweet Alma,
Oh! Where do you live?
What is your 'phone dear?
The number please give.
Alma, I'll ring you!
And then I say "Dear"
A wedding ring
is the only ring
that Alma can hear!

Alma, sweet Alma,
Oh! Where do you live?
What is your 'phone dear?
The number please give.
Alma, I'll ring you!
And then I say "Dear"
A wedding ring
is the only ring
that Alma can hear!

Why are the men so queer?
When wedding ring I say
They never seem to hear,
and no attention pay.
Then googoos greater grow;
they wink the other eye;
and when I say "Bonjour" "Goodday"
They shyly, shyly make reply:

Alma, sweet Alma,
Oh! Where do you live?
What is your 'phone dear?
The number please give.
Alma, I'll ring you!
And then I say "Dear"
A wedding ring
is the only ring
that Alma can hear!

Alma, sweet Alma,
Oh! Where do you live?
What is your 'phone dear?
The number please give.
Alma, I'll ring you!
And then I say "Dear"
A wedding ring
is the only ring
that Alma can hear!
