At The Five And Ten Cent Store 1915

Young Johnny Dove
was head and heels in love
with a pretty little maid
named Flossie Moore.
She used to work
as a nifty little clerk
at the Five And Ten Cent Store.
Each day at three
young Johnny used to be
where Flossie worked
one day she asked him "Why?"
"I'm going to be wed,"
to her he softly said,
"And ev'rything I need
I always buy."

At the Five And Ten Cent Store,
I got the carpet for the floor,
The paper on the wall
and the matting in the hall,
lots of other things galore,
Now I'm coming back for more,
there's something else I'm looking for
"Marry me, my honey do,
so I can say I got you too,
At the Five and Ten Cent Store."

there's something else I'm looking for
"Marry me, my honey do,
so I can say I got you too,
At the Five and Ten Cent Store."

The years have fled
since John and Flo were wed.
They're as happy
as two doves could ever be.
Their home so sweet,
it is now about complete,
what a pretty sight to see.
This happy pair
are quite contented there
with kiddies three
age seven, six and four.
Young Johnnie says to Flo:
I want the world to know:
"We didn't get them
at The Ten Cent Store."
