If You Talk In Your Sleep 1911

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 24 Dec 2003

A young married lady
who was very much inclined
to be just a little indiscreet;
Once met a fellow,
they were never introduced
but they met as lots of other people meet.
They both were having luncheon
in a private dining room,
the meal was great and everything was grand.
When suddenly he saw a wedding ring
upon her finger
as he held her dainty little hand.
The door was closed, no one could hear,
so he leaned on the table
and he said: "My dear,

I can see that you are married
and you know I'm married too!
And nobody knows that you know me
and nobody knows that I know you
and, if you care to,
we'll have luncheon
ev'ry day here just the same.
But sweetheart,
if you talk in your sleep
don't mention my name.

I can see that you are married
and you know I'm married too!
And nobody knows that you know me
and nobody knows that I know you
and, if you care to,
we'll have luncheon
ev'ry day here just the same.
But sweetheart,
if you talk in your sleep
don't mention my name."

The young married lady
didn't mean a bit of harm,
but she did go to luncheon ev'ry day.
She used to think it funny.
And if hubby ever knew.
She often used to wonder what he'd say?
One night she was awakened
by a most familiar voice,
the voice was right beside her,
it would seem;
for a minute she was puzzled
then it dawned upon her mind
that her hubby must be
talking in his dream.
She sat up straight with an awful start,
for she knew every word
that he said by heart.

"I can see that you are married
and you know I'm married too!
And nobody knows that you know me
and nobody knows that I know you
and, if you care to,
we'll have luncheon
ev'ry day here just the same.
But sweetheart,
if you talk in your sleep
don't mention my name.

I can see that you are married
and you know I'm married too!
And nobody knows that you know me
and nobody knows that I know you
and, if you care to,
we'll have luncheon
ev'ry day here just the same.
But sweetheart,
if you talk in your sleep
don't mention my name."
