Beatrice Fairfax Tell Me What To Do! 1915

Little Marjorie,
hard working girl was she,
She met a nice young fellow,
as charming as could be;
At sight they loved each other,
On air they seemed to float,
Instead of asking mother,
She sat right down and wrote:

Oh, Beatrice Fairfax,
what shall I do?
I want the bare facts,
the truth from you;
I have a nice young sweetheart,
the best a girl could get,
although he's always teasing,
he hasn't kissed me yet.
Oh, darling Beatrice,
it's up to you,
So print my answer, kindly do!
He takes me out to dances,
Now should I take those chances?
Beatrice, Beatrice,
tell me what to do!

Oh, Beatrice Fairfax,
what shall I do?
I want the bare facts,
the truth from you;
I have a nice young sweetheart,
he is a darling chap,
he doesn't care for fat girls,
'cause they roll off his lap,
Oh, darling Beatrice,
It's up to you,
So print my answer, kindly do!
Pa said that he's a loafer,
but I know he's a chauffeur,
Beatrice, Beatrice,
tell me what to do!

Ev'ry single night,
a perfumed note she'd write,
She'd ask a million questions,
but still she was polite;
He'd cut such funny capers,
Her mind was so upset;
That lovelorn on the papers
These little notes would get:

Oh, Beatrice Fairfax,
what shall I do?
I want the bare facts,
the truth from you;
I have a nice young sweetheart,
the best a girl could get,
although he's always teasing,
he hasn't kissed me yet.
Oh, darling Beatrice,
it's up to you,
So print my answer, kindly do!
He takes me out to dances,
Now should I take those chances?
Beatrice, Beatrice,
tell me what to do!

Oh, Beatrice Fairfax,
what shall I do?
I want the bare facts,
the truth from you;
I have a nice young sweetheart,
he is a darling chap,
he doesn't care for fat girls,
'cause they roll off his lap,
Oh, darling Beatrice,
It's up to you,
So print my answer, kindly do!
Pa said that he's a loafer,
but I know he's a chauffeur,
Beatrice, Beatrice,
tell me what to do!
