Jeremiah Jones
a lady's man was he
ev'ry pretty girl
he loved to spoon;
till he found a wife
and down beside the sea
went to Margate
for the honeymoon;
but when he strolled
along the promenade
with his little wife,
just newly wed,
he got an awful scare
when someone strolling there
came up to him
and winked and said:

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Jeremiah took his wife's mamma one night
round to see a moving picture show;
there upon the screen
a picture came in sight
Jeremiah cried: "He'd better go,"
for on that picture there was Jeremiah
with a pretty girl upon his knee;
Ma cried: "What does it mean?"
then pointing to the screen,
the people yelled at Jones with glee:

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Jeremiah now has settled down in life
said goodbye to frills and furbelows;
never thinks of girls
except his darling wife,
always takes her ev'rywhere he goes,
By Jove why!
There he is you naughty boy!
with a lady too
you're rather free;
Of course you'll stake your life
the lady is your wife
but tell me on the strick Q.T.

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Christmas pantomime
were Jones's chief delight,
once he madly loved the Fairy Queen;
There behind the scenes
he spooned with her one night,
someone for a lark
pulled up the scenes
and there was poor old Jones
upon the stage
with his arm around
the lady fair,
the house began to roar
from gallery to floor
then ev'rybody shouted there;

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?

Hello! Hello!
Who's your lady friend?
Who's the little girlie
by your side?
I've seen you
with a girl or two
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I am surprised at you;
Hello! Hello!
Stop your little games
don't you think your ways
you ought to mend?
It isn't the girl
I saw you with at Brighton,
who, who, who's your lady friend?
