Have You Seen My Baby? 1908

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 27 Aug 2005

Oh, sweet Fifi a nurse maid was,
in cap and dainty skirt;
with golden hair, a picture fair,
she'd take the baby to the Park,
and then start in to flirt,
Policemen gay, who came her way.
One day she turned to find
the babe was missing from her side,
"Oh" Sacré bleu! Vat shall I do?"
She rushed about in mad despair,
she wildly tore her golden hair,
and ev'rywhere she went
she loudly cried:

Have you seen my Looie?
He's my honey Looie,
such a pretty Looie
there could ever be,
Oh! I love you madly,
Oh! I want you sadly,
Oh! my little Looie
Come back to me!

Have you seen my Looie?
He's my honey Looie,
such a pretty Looie
there could ever be,
Oh! I love you madly,
Oh! I want you sadly,
Oh! my little Looie
Come back to me!

The baby's name was Looie
and he hurried home direct,
left Fifi there, in her despair,
but all the men who heard her cry,
declared they'd not object,
it's place to take,
for her sweet sake.
They said they'd be her baby dear,
but Fifi cried: "No, no! I want,"
said she, "my own babee!"
But still they followed through the Park
in places light and places dark,
to hear her cry where ever she would go:

Have you seen my Looie?
He's my honey Looie,
such a pretty Looie
there could ever be,
Oh! I love you madly,
Oh! I want you sadly,
Oh! my little Looie
Come back to me!

Have you seen my Looie?
He's my honey Looie,
such a pretty Looie
there could ever be,
Oh! I love you madly,
Oh! I want you sadly,
Oh! my little Looie
Come back to me!
