Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly 1909

Michael Kelly with his sweetheart
came from County Cork,
and bent upon a holiday
they landed in New York.
They strolled around to see the sights
alas, it's sad to say,
Poor Kelly lost his little girl
upon The Great White Way,
She walked uptown from Herald Square
to Forty Second Street
the traffic stopped as she cried
to the copper on the beat:

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K. E. double L. Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Have you seen him smile?
Sure his hair is red,
his eyes are blue,
and he's Irish through and through,
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Kelly from The Emerald Isle.

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K. E. double L. Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Have you seen him smile?
Sure his hair is red,
his eyes are blue,
and he's Irish through and through,
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Kelly from The Emerald Isle.

Over on Fifth Avenue
a band began to play,
The thousand men were marching
for it was Saint Patrick's Day,
The "Wearing of the Green"
rang out upon the morning air,
'Twas Kelly's fav'rite song,
so Mary said: "I'll find him there."
She climbed upon the grandstand
in hopes her Mike she'd see,
Five hundred Kelly's left the ranks
in answer to her plea.

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K. E. double L. Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Have you seen him smile?
Sure his hair is red,
his eyes are blue,
and he's Irish through and through,
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Kelly from The Emerald Isle.

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K. E. double L. Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Have you seen him smile?
Sure his hair is red,
his eyes are blue,
and he's Irish through and through,
Has anybody here seen Kelly
Kelly from The Emerald Isle.
