If I Were A Big Victrola 1915

Bashful Boy, Winning Miss,
Inward joy, Minus kiss,
He was slow and couldn't explain,
Loves sweet refrain,
Just as he'd like too,
But he called ev'ry eve,
Nothing said, He would leave,
But one night when he started to yawn,
She turned the victrola on,
He sprang up from his chair,
and these words filled the air.

Let's suppose that I'm a big Victrola dear
and you're a little talking machine,
I'd make a play for you,
I'd song a song or two
and honest little girl
I'd break a record for you,
I'd let myself run down.
And I'd even let you wind me 'round,
And I'd tell all the town about my dream Queen
Why I'd go off my coco cola
and play number two viola,
If I'd ever had the chance to be a big Victrola,
And you were a little talking machine,
I'd change my tune.

Let's suppose that I'm a big Victrola dear
and you're a little talking machine,
I'd make a play for you,
I'd song a song or two
and honest little girl
I'd break a record for you,
I'd let myself run down.
And I'd even let you wind me 'round,
And I'd tell all the town about my dream Queen
Why I'd go off my coco cola
and play number two viola,
If I'd ever had the chance to be a big Victrola,
And you were a little talking machine,
I'd change my tune.

Bashful Boy, out of breath,
Winning Miss, Shocked to death,
Was it true
that he had proposed,
The deal was closed,
He'd broke a record,
Girl in arms,
boy in air,
Two in one,
Morris chair,
It's too good to be true said the Miss,
The Victrola the cause of this,
Please say those words once more,
So he sang a short encore.

Let's suppose that I'm a big Victrola dear
and you're a little talking machine,
I'd make a play for you,
I'd song a song or two
and honest little girl
I'd break a record for you,
I'd let myself run down.
And I'd even let you wind me 'round,
And I'd tell all the town about my dream Queen
Why I'd go off my coco cola
and play number two viola,
If I'd ever had the chance to be a big Victrola,
And you were a little talking machine,
I'd change my tune.
