It's A Different Girl Again! 1906

I have the reputation
of a bold and bounding flirt,
Ev'ryone stares when I go walking
with a dainty skirt.
Once, upon a mountain top,
a mile or two from earth,
I with a girl
was pressing my suit
for all that I was worth.
Just then a balloon flew by,
and I heard somebody cry:

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

One day my dear old grandmamma
who's eighty five and grey,
I was escorting round the town,
and showing her the way.
Granny's very rich
and as I'm mentioned in her will,
I was attentive all of the time
in case she caught a chill.
We got in a motor bus
when a voice said: "Why, there's Gus!"

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Once in a bar I lost my temper
with a drunken lout,
He was so rude to me,
the landlord had the man thrown out.
When I left, the loafer's wife
was waiting, full of fun,
Going for me
she tore my new coat
and smashed my brand new "Dunn."
She threw a jug at my head
when a friend came up and said:

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

No one believes that I'm sincere
but p'raps I'll wed some day,
and in the church the same old words
some one is sure to say.
When I'm spliced a year or two
I think it's safe to bet
I shall be strolling round
to a shop to buy a basinette.
When wheeling the youngster out
I shall hear the neighbours shout:

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Though you may think I'm faithless,
still I'm not the only one,
several friends in front I see
enjoying all the fun;
you look very innocent
your sweethearts think you're true,
still if I liked
I know that I could
the tables turn on you.
Of flirting do your share
look at that man over there!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Once in a big dramatic play
I took the villain's part,
seizing the maiden by the hand
I asked her for her heart.
She refused and to escape
from me she vainly tried,
"Marry me, or become my wife,"
in tragic tones I cried,
She struggled and screamed a bit
when a voice came from the pit.

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Once in a small excursion boat
I journeyed for a trip,
just as we got beyond the pier
a girl fell off the ship.
I took off my hat and coat,
the crew began to roar,
quickly I dived and grabbing the girl
I swam towards the shore.
My arm was around her neck
so they shouted from the deck.

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!

Hello! Hello! Hello!
It's a different girl again.
Different eyes, different nose,
different hair, different clothes.
Hello! Hello! Hello!
To me it's very plain,
you tickle the lady's fancy
It's a different girl again!
