Come And Tell Me 1926 'Betsy'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Oct 2004

[Guy:] I've a most obliging nature
doing favors is my fun!
All you have to do is
state your slightest wish
and it is done.
You'll always find me ready
and glad to help you out.
So let me be your steady,
and shout: "Boy Scout!"

If you want someone to run down
to your parlor after sundown
only come and tell me.
If you feel you need
a tender person of the other gender,
only come and tell me.
Tell me.
If you're blue and sobby,
what a help I'll be;
You can play some hobby horsy on my knee.
If you're open to suggestion
on life's most important question,
just come and tell it to me.

If you want someone to run down
to your parlor after sundown
only come and tell me.
If you feel you need
a tender person of the other gender,
only come and tell me.
Tell me.
If you're blue and sobby,
what a help I'll be;
You can play some hobby horsy on my knee.
If you're open to suggestion
on life's most important question,
just come and tell it to me.

[Peggy:] Sentimental, though the phrase is
all you ask of me I'll do.
If you tell me: "Go to blazes!"
I'll trot right along for you!
No obstacles surmount one
if helpful one would be.
You only have to count:
"One, two, three," to me!

If you want someone to run down
to your parlor after sundown
only come and tell me.
If you feel you need
a tender person of the other gender,
only come and tell me.
Tell me.
If you're blue and sobby,
what a help I'll be;
You can play some hobby horsy on my knee.
If you're open to suggestion
on life's most important question,
just come and tell it to me.

If you want someone to run down
to your parlor after sundown
only come and tell me.
If you feel you need
a tender person of the other gender,
only come and tell me.
Tell me.
If you're blue and sobby,
what a help I'll be;
You can play some hobby horsy on my knee.
If you're open to suggestion
on life's most important question,
just come and tell it to me.
