If You Talk In Your Sleep 1911

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 ev'ry thing 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 ev'ry 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.
