Dearie - 1950

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 15 Jul 2001

Dearie, do you remember
When we waltzed to the Sousa band,
My! Wasn't the music grand?
Life was so romantic and peaceful
In those old fashioned days,
Test your memory, my dearie,
Do you recall the crazy things we once used to do?
Like riding a bicycle made for two,
Dearie, Life was cheery
In the good old days gone by.
Do you remember?
If you remember, well,
Dearie you're much older than I.

Dearie, do you remember
When we tried ev'ry night to get
Two L. O. on a crystal set?
Days when Jackie Coogan and Chaplin
Made you laugh and then cry,
Test your memory, my dearie,
Do you recall what we could do
with a knife and fork
A jolly good steak and a ham from York,
Dearie, Life was cheery
In the good old days gone by.
Do you remember?
If you remember, well,
Dearie you're much older than I.

Dearie, do you remember
When we once heard Caruso sing
My! Didn't the rafters ring?
Champagne Charlie in Monte Carlo
Broke the bank ev'ry day,
Test your memory, my dearie,
Do you recall when Gilda Gray
did the shimmy shake?
And that was the start of the 'Frisco quake,
Dearie, Life was cheery
In the good old days gone by.
Do you remember?
If you remember, well,
Dearie you're much older than I.

Dearie, do you recall the stars
Our ma's and our pa's enjoyed
George Robey and Marie Lloyd?
Those were the days when Gaiety Girls were
Catching ev'ryone's eye,
Test your memory, my dearie,
Do you remember when they loved
Harry Lauder's act
The London Pavilion
they always packed.
Dearie, Life was cheery
In the good old days gone by.
Do you remember?
If you remember, well,
Dearie you're much older than I.

Dearie, do you recall those
Bygone days of the crinoline
When Victoria reigned as Queen?
Lovely ladies swinging their bustles
Made the gentlemen sigh,
Test your memory, my dearie,
Do you remember when
Most gents owned a pair of spats
with butterfly collars and Derby hats.
Dearie, Life was cheery
In the good old days gone by.
Do you remember?
If you remember, well,
Dearie you're much older than I.
