His Cute Moving Picture Machine 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 Aug 2005

Little Louie Shiller
was a lady killer,
had a dozen girlies ev'ry night,
(Some lover,)
His brother, Gene,
bought a picture machine
and hid it in the garden
out of sight.
He'd wait till they were spooning,
then start up the machine,
and ev'rything they did was photographed.
Right after they would go
he'd send for me and Joe,
invite us all to come and see the show.

He'd turn on the movies,
keep turning the movies,
and show all the girls on the screen;
there's Maudie, Madie,
Lizzie and Lou.
O, O, O, what I know about you!
The picture discloses
some wonderful poses,
the finest that you've ever seen.
Now he has a picture that you ought to see,
but he'll never show it to no one but me,
and it's there on the movies,
right there on the movies,
his cute moving picture machine.

He'd turn on the movies,
keep turning the movies,
and show all the girls on the screen;
there's Billy, Tilly,
Harry and Lou,
O, O, O, what I know about you!
The picture discloses
some wonderful poses,
the finest that you've ever seen.
Now I know a woman who wants a divorce,
but she needs a reason to get it, of course,
and it's there on the movies,
right there on the movies,
his cute moving picture machine.

Willie dug his trenches
right behind the benches,
in the park where lovers came to sigh
(Each evening)
There out of sight
ev'ry night with delight,
now ev'ry little movement he could spy.
He loved to raise the dickens
with married men who flirt,
he caused a lot of trouble,
don't you know.
When hubby's weren't home
and wifey's were alone,
he'd send for them to come and see the show.

He'd turn on the movies,
keep turning the movies,
and show all the girls on the screen;
there's Maudie, Madie,
Lizzie and Lou.
O, O, O, what I know about you!
The picture discloses
some wonderful poses,
the finest that you've ever seen.
Now I know a girl who looks mighty cute,
I saw her last winter in her bathing suit,
and it's there on the movies,
right there on the movies,
his cute moving picture machine.

He'd turn on the movies,
keep turning the movies,
and show all the girls on the screen;
there's Billy, Tilly,
Harry and Lou,
O, O, O, what I know about you!
The picture discloses
some wonderful poses,
the finest that you've ever seen.
Now I know a girl who can kick off your hat,
and she don't have to stand on a chair to do that
and it's there on the movies,
right there on the movies,
his cute moving picture machine.
