I, And Myself, And Me 1905 'Alice and the Eight Princesses'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 19 Jan 2004

I have two friends,
two dear old friends;
my joys and woes they share.
We never leave each other,
we're together ev'rywhere.
Just why we love each other so,
is more than I can tell,
but ev'rybody envies us,
we get along so well.

I, and myself, and Me
just we three, myself and I,
and Me are pals,
we always do agree.
For years we've been together
no truer companions could be.
We'd give up our lives for each other
I know, I, and Myself, and Me.

I, and Myself, and little Me,
we all lived happy lives.
But we met Her,
Herself and She,
and they became our wives.
She said, I could not suit Myself,
Herself got mad at Me,
they almost broke our friendship up,
Her, and Herself, and She.

I, and Myself, and Me
we were free,
we lived to peace till we were wed
to Her, Herself, and She.
When with Her, I would quarrel
Herself and Myself would agree.
'Twas plain She and Me
were not "chummy" like us,
I, and Myself, and Me.

When I fell off a ship at sea,
Myself was by my side.
I was beside Myself with fear
to Me, for help I cried.
'Twas Me, threw them a cake of soap,
Out where the breakers roared,
I raised a lather to the ship,

Then Myself climbed aboard.
I, and Myself, and Me saved at sea,
I raised some money with Myself
and I rewarded Me,
I, and Myself gave medals
to Me for this great bravery.
'Twas Me saved the lives
of both I and Myself,
I, and Myself, and Me.
