Aren't You The Girl I Met At Sherry's? 1907

I have travelled many miles
I received some pleasant smiles,
with the gentle sex
I've always been a pet;
I've been lucky you might say
But the girl to get away,
Like the Northern Pole
is undiscovered yet.
The other night while dining,
I could picture Trinity,
My eyes were met by what I thought
was my affinity;
She smiled at me so roguishly
my brain began to whirl,
I'm on her track
I want her back
say: "aren't you the girl?"

Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's?
Aren't you the maid that smiled at me?
Weren't you indulging in blackberries?
Weren't you a sipping at some tea?
I'm almost sure you are the very lady,
Though perhaps there may be room for doubt;
Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's
just before the lights went out.

Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's?
Aren't you the maid that smiled at me?
Weren't you indulging in blackberries?
Weren't you a sipping at some tea?
I'm almost sure you are the very lady,
Though perhaps there may be room for doubt;
Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's
just before the lights went out.

I am not a keen observer,
and perhaps I don't deserve her,
But I don't propose
to let that interfere;
I'm determined I shall win her,
she was such a little sinner
that I'll never rest
until I have her here,
that she's around is certain
and she'll never get away,
I don't care what the cost may be,
the bills I'll gladly pay;
the search may be a lengthy one,
but that cuts little ice,
She must be mine,
that maid divine,
at any sacrifice.

Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's?
Aren't you the maid that smiled at me?
Weren't you indulging in blackberries?
Weren't you a sipping at some tea?
I'm almost sure you are the very lady,
Though perhaps there may be room for doubt;
Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's
just before the lights went out.

Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's?
Aren't you the maid that smiled at me?
Weren't you indulging in blackberries?
Weren't you a sipping at some tea?
I'm almost sure you are the very lady,
Though perhaps there may be room for doubt;
Aren't you the girl I met at Sherry's
just before the lights went out.
