Come Along Pretty Girl 1909 Kern

A man's a flirt
the moment that he meets a pretty girl.
A slave to rosy cheek,
bright eye and captivating curl.
No matter where it is they meet,
within four walls or in the street,
the man will always try.
At once to catch her eye
and then say:

"Come along pretty girl,
pretty girl, come along,
come along with me."
I don't know why today,
I'm shy and timid as can be.
But I suppose if Mister Right
tomorrow I should see
why I'd run along
to the tune of his song:
"Come along pretty girl with me."

Supposing you were Mister Right
what could you offer me?
You can't win ev'ry little girl
with pretty jewelry.
For most of us still think true love
is better than all else above,
and that is just the way
I'm thinking now today.
When they say:

"Come along pretty girl,
pretty girl, come along,
come along with me."
I don't know why today,
I'm shy and timid as can be.
But I suppose if Mister Right
tomorrow I should see
why I'd run along
to the tune of his song:
"Come along pretty girl with me."
