Betsy's The Belle Of The Bathers 1907

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Oct 2005

Betsy's the belle of the bathers,
swimming's considered her forte.
Decidedly active, petite and attractive,
a brave natatorical sport.
Women are jealous of Betsy,
hate even hearing her name.
For Betsy has charms,
and not one of those qualms,
to stop her from showing the same.

Betsy's the belle of the bathers,
Betsy's the best on the beach.
Dressed in a bathing suit just a bit snug,
ev'ryone says she's a peach.
When in the surf she's a corker,
floats out of ev'ry man's reach.
Betsy's the belle of the bathers,
Betsy's the beaut of the beach.

Betsy is sylphlike and shapely,
that's why the fatter girls sneer,
for all of them men shun,
and pay no attention,
whenever fair Betsy is near.
Fellows who hated the water,
chaps who were always afraid,
jump overboard quick,
tho' they can't swim a lick,
to make Betsy swim to their aid.

Betsy's the belle of the bathers,
Betsy's the best on the beach.
Dressed in a bathing suit just a bit snug,
ev'ryone says she's a peach.
When in the surf she's a corker,
floats out of ev'ry man's reach.
Betsy's the belle of the bathers,
Betsy's the beaut of the beach.
