Go Easy Mabel 1909

Young Percival Du Peyster
was just a ribbon clerk
but Mabel Fitch
thought he was rich
and didn't have to work,
One paynight he met Mabel
and asked her out to dine
and when he heard her order bird
he said: "Here goes my nine,"
But when she ordered wine,
a chill ran down his spine,
he yelled so loud
that all the crowd
heard up and down the lane.

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!

Said Mabel: "Gee that's funny
a millionaire that's broke!"
But Percy, he laughed inwardly,
he couldn't see the joke.
She ordered two more bottles
and soon was feeling queer
cried: "I'm a sport, Hey!
Bring a quart to ev'rybody here!"
The waiter then drew near
and Percy shook with fear
then he turned pale
he thought of jail
and cried; "Oh, honey dear!"

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!

One year they have been married,
the doctor came today
and Percival, was nervous till
he heard what nurse would say.
The nurse held up two fingers
he proudly walked the floor,
when later, she just held up three
then Perce cut loose and swore,
But when she held up four
his hair he madly tore,
when he came too,
he pleaded through
the keyhole of the door.

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!

Go easy, Mabel!
Go easy, Mabel!
Mabel, if you love your Percy,
Cease! Oh goodness gracious, mercy!
Go easy, Mabel!
I'm not a Pittsburgh man!
If you can't go easy, Mabel
Go as easy as you can!
