Do You Like Me? 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Dec 2005

[He:] I'm not greedy,
but I like a lot of anything that's nice.
[She:] And don't you mind the price?
[He:] I don't, so long as it's very nice.
[She:] Are you rich?
[He:] Well, in the way of love
I'm quite a millionaire.
[She:] And would you like
your wealth of love with me to share?
[He:] That is the thing
that I just want to do.
Hence now the reason that I say to you:

Do you like me?
[She:] Yes, just a little
Just a little bit I do.
Not a lot.
[He:] Not a what?
[She:] Just a little bit,
if a little bit will do.
[He:] Have you ever loved another chap?
[She:] No, not a little bit.
[He:] Are you sure of it?
[She:] It's true so as
I've never loved anybody but you,
the little bit of love
I have is true,
and that little bit of love
will have to do,
if you want me to love you at all.

[She:] Say do you flirt?
[He:] No, not a little bit.
[She:] Are you sure of it?
[He:] It's true, not a jot.
[She:] Not a what?
[He:] Not a little bit,
tho' I've known a girl or two
[She:] Have you really?
[He:] Yes, but not like you
[She:] No?
[He:] Not a little bit.
Girls as nice as you are few.
[She:] Well if I say, yes,
you'll always be true?
[He:] Why, I'll never even think
of any girl but you.
[She:] Well, that sounds very nice,
so I think you'll do.
[He:] Then you'll marry me?
[She:] Yes, bye and bye.

[She:] I'm not selfish,
but I want my husband to be mine for life,
thro' happiness and strife,
I must be his one and only wife.
[He:] Mayn't he flirt?
[She:] Why, no
[He:] Then out of practice
he will quickly be.
[She:] Well, I don't mind him flirting
if he flirts with me
[He:] To flirt with the same wife
for life would be tame
[She:] Why no, for a wife's
not two moments the same.

Do you like me?
[She:] Yes, just a little
Just a little bit I do.
Not a lot.
[He:] Not a what?
[She:] Just a little bit,
if a little bit will do.
[He:] Have you ever loved another chap?
[She:] No, not a little bit.
[He:] Are you sure of it?
[She:] It's true so as
I've never loved anybody but you,
the little bit of love
I have is true,
and that little bit of love
will have to do,
if you want me to love you at all.

[She:] Say do you flirt?
[He:] No, not a little bit.
[She:] Are you sure of it?
[He:] It's true, not a jot.
[She:] Not a what?
[He:] Not a little bit,
tho' I've known a girl or two
[She:] Have you really?
[He:] Yes, but not like you
[She:] No?
[He:] Not a little bit.
Girls as nice as you are few.
[She:] Well if I say, yes,

[He:] Why, I'll never even think
of any girl but you.
[She:] Well, that sounds very nice,
so I think you'll do.

[She:] Yes, bye and bye.
