Here Comes Tootsie 1915

Now Tootsie's not my name
but people all the same
They choose to call me Tootsie
just because that's what they choose.
Of course it's awful rude
no matter how it's viewed
they ought to call me Jacqueline
but, no, they all refuse.
But I at least can turn my nose up high
when cheeky persons greet me with the cry.

Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band!
Cherro Tootsie
Tootsie you are looking simply grand.
Ripple out the rag
on the piccolos and flutes
that the man who writes the rags
wrote especially for Toots.
Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band.

Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band!
Cherro Tootsie
Tootsie you are looking simply grand.
Ripple out the rag
on the piccolos and flutes
that the man who writes the rags
wrote especially for Toots.
Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band.

I went the other night
much to my keen delight
To sup with friends
who pay at least
a dollar for a meal.
I'll also tell you
that I wore my Sunday hat,
my purple skirt
and velvet cape
edged round with green chenille,
I looked as if my name was Jacqueline
and yet up rose the cry
when I was seen.

Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band!
Cherro Tootsie
Tootsie you are looking simply grand.
Ripple out the rag
on the piccolos and flutes
that the man who writes the rags
wrote especially for Toots.
Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band.

Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band!
Cherro Tootsie
Tootsie you are looking simply grand.
Ripple out the rag
on the piccolos and flutes
that the man who writes the rags
wrote especially for Toots.
Here comes Tootsie
play a little music in the band.
