Jografree 1905 'Alice and the Eight Princesses'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Mar 2004

Sailors are such restless men,
but we can't help loving them
now and then.
Yet when they go away,
at home we have to stay.
If a sailor lad your heart should win,
then later wrote you from Berlin,
then to your Jografree you'd turn,
and from it you would learn.

Berlin is a German town
where the Kaiser keeps his crown;
there the bands play lovely tunes,
mornings, nights, and afternoons.
Pretty girls with flaxen hair,
forty kinds of beer are there.
If that's all true, alas, alack!
There's a chance
he'll never come back!

Drummers are such fetching men,
that our hearts they carry off
now and then.
When on the road they go,
they stay six months or so.
But if one a tender little note,
to you from Philadelphia wrote,
then to your Jografree you'd turn,
and from it you would learn.

Philadelphia is a farm
filled with placid rustic charm,
oats and hay and beans and beets
grow in all the leading streets.
To their work the natives creep
softly walking in their sleep,
on soulful sorrow you may sup,
there's a chance he'll never wake up!
