I Gave Her That 1919 Al Jolson

Folks I want to ask you something
Have you seen my sweet?
She's the girl you stop and stare at
walking down the street:
There is really no use asking
if you've seen this Miss,
I am sure you've seen her, so,
Let me ask you this:

Did you see that pretty dress,
say, I gave her that,
And that look of happiness,
say, I gave her that,
You should see her flat
and her great big picture hat;
You'd declare, it's a bear,
I gave her that.
Did you see her Motor car?
Say, I gave her that;
I love her so much I hardly know
Where I'm at.
Oh she's a mighty pretty sight
and her eyes are black as night,
but the left is blacker than the right,
and I gave her that.

Did you see that pretty dress,
say, I gave her that,
And that look of happiness,
say, I gave her that,
You should see her flat
and her great big picture hat;
You'd declare, it's a bear,
I gave her that.
Did you see her Solitaire?
Say, I gave her that;
When she got that ring
She more than smiled,
she went wild;
But did you see her yesterday
with that baby on Broadway
Wasn't that some Baby!
Say, That's her sister's child.

When I'm walking with my sweetie,
up and down Broadway,
You should see the fellows staring
hear the things they say:
They all claim that
I could never win this nifty Miss,
When they ask if she is mine
I just tell them this:

Did you see that pretty dress,
say, I gave her that,
And that look of happiness,
say, I gave her that,
You should see her flat
and her great big picture hat;
You'd declare, it's a bear,
I gave her that.
Did you see her Motor car?
Say, I gave her that;
I love her so much I hardly know
Where I'm at.
Oh she's a mighty pretty sight
and her eyes are black as night,
but the left is blacker than the right,
and I gave her that.

Did you see that pretty dress,
say, I gave her that,
And that look of happiness,
say, I gave her that,
You should see her flat
and her great big picture hat;
You'd declare, it's a bear,
I gave her that.
Did you see her Solitaire?
Say, I gave her that;
When she got that ring
She more than smiled,
she went wild;
But did you see her yesterday
with that baby on Broadway
Wasn't that some Baby!
Say, That's her sister's child.
