I Don't Care What Becomes Of Me 1911 JPitt-Payne

"Come along all you boys with me,
come along girls,
I'm on the spree,"
So said my old pal Brown;
I've got a bunch of quids to spend
I've got a pound or two to lend
Let's go round the town.
Haven't you heard the news?
Hooray! Don't you know why I feel so gay?
I want to sing and shout;
Get half a dozen taxi cabs,
this is all with me
for tonight's my last night out.

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.

Twenty four lovely girls and boys
kicking up such an awful noise
all followed Brown that night;
went to a Music Hall each one
sat in the stalls
and had some fun.
Shouted with delight.
When they put on the pictures though
silly old Brown upset the show
Stood up and made folks roar;
The gall'ry shouted "Turn him out"
passed some rude remarks,
"That's alright," said Brown,
"Encore...."

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.

"Come along girls," said Brown, "what oh!
Round to the skating rink we'll go,
Rollers are all sublime."
When they got in 'twas like a fair,
bumping the people here and there
they'd a fine old time.
Suddenly Brown went down a flop,
some of the girls fell on the top
knocked out the poor chap's breath.
"Get up!" they cried, but he said, "No!
I shall stop here, girls,
if you tickle me to death."

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.

I don't care what becomes of me
I don't care for I'm on a spree,
I don't care if I'm out till two
and I don't care for the man in blue!
I don't care what the people say
here there and ev'rywhere
I'm going to be married in the morning
So tonight, girls,
I don't care.
