Hallo! Little Miss U.S.A. 1913 "The Whirl of The World"

A little girl has come to town,
she's somebody of great renown.
You meet her all day long:
Just hear her syncopated song.
In dreams, her melodies we hear,
they're ragging ev'rybody near.
When you hear her music playing
to each melody you're swaying
Welcome her and say:

Hallo! Little Miss U.S.A.
Hallo! Say, you may come to stay?
When you brought the fashion over here,
from Yankee Land,
The way you fascinated us,
we cannot understand.
Oh, oh, Queen of the Show!
We're pleased to meet you,
so pleased to greet you!
Hallo! Little Miss U.S.A.
Hallo! You've got our hearts today.
Verdi never thought about you in the thirty age
now we've syncopated notes on ev'ry music page
How do you do, Miss U.S.A.

so pleased to greet you!

now we've syncopated notes on ev'ry music page
How do you do, Miss U.S.A.

Her lips have got a dainty curve;
she does a kind of Gaby swerve.
That harmonising smile,
it seems to haunt us all the while.
When from the ship we saw her land,
a bunch of ragtime in her hand,
Each band seemed to serenade her,
ev'ry old piano play'd her!
She's a baby grand!
