Dainty Little Ingenue 1904

When I meet an Ingenue
I'm enraptured. How romantic!
Still I'm frantic!
By her meek and modest ways
I am captured,
though I don't know how to win her hand.
When I speak to her of love
she repels me,
cold and heartless! Simply artless!
For her shy and drooping eye
plainly tell me,
that she does not understand.

Dainty little dimpled darling,
fresher than the new blown rose,
pure and modest as the buds
of springtime sweetest flow'r that blows!
Laughter like softest music,
roguish smiling eye of blue, Ah!
to know you is to love you sweetheart,
dainty little ingenue!

Dainty little dimpled darling,
fresher than the new blown rose,
pure and modest as the buds
of springtime sweetest flow'r that blows!
Laughter like softest music,
roguish smiling eye of blue, Ah!
to know you is to love you sweetheart,
dainty little ingenue!

Ah! The Ingenue you're quite over rated.
Pretty dreamer!
Clever schemer!
Don't imagine that she's unsophisticated,
she's already learned a thing or two,
Well she knows each word of love
that you utter,
I'm astonished
be admonished,
that the reason why her heart doesn't flutter,
is she's not in love with you.

Dainty little dimpled darling,
fresher than the new blown rose,
pure and modest as the buds
of springtime sweetest flow'r that blows!
Laughter like softest music,
roguish smiling eye of blue, Ah!
to know you is to love you sweetheart,
dainty little ingenue!

Dainty little dimpled darling,
fresher than the new blown rose,
pure and modest as the buds
of springtime sweetest flow'r that blows!
Laughter like softest music,
roguish smiling eye of blue, Ah!
to know you is to love you sweetheart,
dainty little ingenue!
