Dolly Dollars 1905 'Miss Dolly Dollar'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Feb 2004

Tell me, have you heard of Dolly Dollars?
She's considered to be strictly uptodate.
Noble foreign cousins
are pursuing her by dozens,
fearing only they will be too late.
Oh, but she has money, Dolly Dollars.
She has beauty too, to fascinate the men,
but when they come wooing
there is really nothing doing.
Dolly tells them when to call again.

Some like lazy Daisy,
some like modest May,
others fancy Nancy,
who has such a winning way;
some like chilly Lilly,
statuesque and tall,
but dashing Dolly Dollars
seems to win them all.

Some like pretty Kitty,
Some admire plain Jane,
Some would marry Carrie,
And they sigh for her in vain;
Queen of ev'ry season,
Belle of ev'ry ball,
this dashing Dolly Dollars
seems to win them all.

Jolly little party Dolly Dollars,
She is ready for a laugh with any one,
Suitors bring their titles
and she lists all their recitals,
but regards it all as merely fun.
None of them can fool Miss Dolly Dollars,
tho' the way she often treats them is a shame,
Words she does not mince them,
very quickly she'll convince them
Two it takes to play the marriage game.

Some like lazy Daisy,
some like modest May,
others fancy Nancy,
who has such a winning way;
some like chilly Lilly,
statuesque and tall,
but dashing Dolly Dollars
seems to win them all.

Some like pretty Kitty,
Some admire plain Jane,
Some would marry Carrie,
And they sigh for her in vain;
Queen of ev'ry season,
Belle of ev'ry ball,
this dashing Dolly Dollars
seems to win them all.
