And Then 1913

If I take you in my confidence
and tell you something new,
be a Mason girls
and don't repeat;
Honest I can keep a secret
but the ones I tell it to,
Always tell it to each one they meet.
I met a chap who fell in love with me,
I fell in love with him;
He saw me home last evening all alone,
Of course I asked him to come in.
Oh! Joy! Some Boy!

First we had a talk and then,
We sat by the fire and then,
It was getting warm and so,
We drew our chairs away
from the fireside glow.
Mother said: "Good night"
and then,
we turned down the light and then,
We cuddled close together,
and we talked about the weather,
Yes we did.
Yes we did!
Not then.

We cuddled close together,
and we talked about the weather,
Yes we did.
Yes we did!
Not then.

Now the part that's interesting
I will tell you one and all,
But it must be on the strict Q. T.
First we took the foxy parrot out
and locked him in the hall,
'cause he told some tales before on me.
We waited till the folks had gone to sleep,
the clock struck halfpast ten;
He said: "My Dear, I'm glad no one can hear,"
He placed his hand in mine
and then Oh, then! What then!
