Goodness Me! 1932

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Jun 2004

Bill and I were in the avenue,
when a little cutie came in view.
Bill stopped dead,
so I turned and said:
"What's the matter with you?"
He shouted:

Goodness me, hear me say,
can't you see, cross the way?
Ain't she as fresh as a daisy?
If you don't think so boy
you must be crazy.
Five foot four, sweet brunette,
and what's more, hard to get.
What! Introduce you?
I'm sorry pal,
Goodness me, why that's my gal

And I cry:

Goodness me, hear me say,
can't you see, cross the way?
That cream and honey complexion?
I guess I've gotta stroll in her direction.
Goodness me, Five foot four,
fits my knee, don't want more.
What! Introduce you? I'm sorry pal,
Goodness me, why that's my gal.

Billy's love affair was going strong,
till I sang to her love's old sweet song.
Now he's thro' and does he look blue,
When we're strolling along
And I cry:

Goodness me, hear me say,
can't you see, cross the way?
Ain't she as fresh as a daisy?
If you don't think so boy
you must be crazy.
Five foot four, sweet brunette,
and what's more, hard to get.
What! Introduce you?
I'm sorry pal,
Goodness me, why that's my gal

And I cry:

Goodness me, hear me say,
can't you see, cross the way?
That cream and honey complexion?
I guess I've gotta stroll in her direction.
Goodness me, Five foot four,
fits my knee, don't want more.
What! Introduce you? I'm sorry pal,
Goodness me, why that's my gal.
