Call Me Up Some Rainy Afternoon 1910

Nellie Green met Harry Lee,
At a masquerade the other night;
He liked she, and she liked he,
Just a case of love at single sight;
He took Nellie home that eve,
Also took the number of her 'phone,
Just before he took his leave,
Nellie whispered in the cutest tone.

Call me up some rainy afternoon,
I'll arrange for a quiet little spoon,
Think of all the joy and bliss,
We can hug and we can
talk about the weather,
We can have a quiet little talk,
We will see that your mother takes a walk,
Mum's the word when we meet,
Be a mason, don't repeat,
Are you wise? I am wise. Goodbye.

Call me up some rainy afternoon,
I'll arrange for a quiet little spoon,

We can have a quiet little talk,
We will see that your mother takes a walk,
Mum's the word when we meet,
Be a mason, don't repeat,
Are you wise? I am wise. Goodbye.

He look'd wise,
then looked for rain,
Sure enough it rained that Saturday;
'Give me three, four, five, six Main,
Nellie dear, prepare I'm on my way.'
When he rang the front door bell,
No one there responded to his call,
Soon he heard his pretty Nell,
Singing to somebody in the hall.

Call me up some rainy afternoon,
I'll arrange for a quiet little spoon,
Think of all the joy and bliss,
We can hug and we can
talk about the weather,
We can have a quiet little talk,
We will see that your mother takes a walk,
Mum's the word when we meet,
Be a mason, don't repeat,
Are you wise? I am wise. Goodbye.

Mum's the word when we meet,
Be a mason, don't repeat,
Are you wise? I am wise. Goodbye.
