Every Little Bit Helps 1904

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Jul 2004

A dusky coon, who came to spoon,
his lady love from morn till noon,
it seemed somehow
they never could agree;
no matter what he tried to do,
she'd say: "I've had enough of you;
don't try to hand that lovey talk to me."
he said: "Hon' don't be cross,
I'll let you be the boss."

Give me just one loving smile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
let me hold your hand awhile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
now and then a gentle squeeze,
so my aching heart won't freeze,
love me just a tiny bit please,
ev'ry little bit helps.

Give me just one loving smile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
let me hold your hand awhile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
now and then a gentle squeeze,
so my aching heart won't freeze,
love me just a tiny bit please,
ev'ry little bit helps.

Said she: "I've heard your tales of woe,
I think it's time for you to go,
just put that lovin' gag upon the shelf,"
then he replied: "What shall I do,
so I can make a hit with you,
you know I love you only for yourself."
But as she said: "Goodbye,"
once more she heard him cry:

Give me just one loving smile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
let me hold your hand awhile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
now and then a gentle squeeze,
so my aching heart won't freeze,
love me just a tiny bit please,
ev'ry little bit helps.

Give me just one loving smile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
let me hold your hand awhile,
ev'ry little bit helps,
now and then a gentle squeeze,
so my aching heart won't freeze,
love me just a tiny bit please,
ev'ry little bit helps.
