Johnny Get A Girl 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 03 Aug 2005

Bashful Johnny Lawlor
seated in the parlor
reading stories in a magazine.
When his friend Bill Miller
first class Lady Killer,
passes by the window with his queen.
Bill calls his old friend out
and he begins to shout.

Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and come along.
Johnny get a pearl with a curl,
take a whirl and you can't go wrong.
You can read a magazine
when you are eighty two.
Grab yourself a sweet sixteen,
cause, Johnny when you're old,
when you're old I've been told
it's hard to land them
when you're losing your pep.
Johnny one step two step
but watch your step
Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and fall in line
for you'll need her in the summer time.

Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and come along.
Johnny get a pearl with a curl,
take a whirl and you can't go wrong.
You can read a magazine
when you are eighty two.
Grab yourself a sweet sixteen,
cause, Johnny when you're old,
when you're old I've been told
it's hard to land them
when you're losing your pep.
Johnny one step two step
but watch your step
Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and fall in line
for you'll need her in the summer time.

Johnny found a girlie
dimpled sweet and curlie,
said Goodbye to his old magazine.
Started in to wrestle
just like Vernon Castle
wildest dancing nut you've ever seen.
Went crazy with the heat
did nothing but repeat.

Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and come along.
Johnny get a pearl with a curl,
take a whirl and you can't go wrong.
You can read a magazine
when you are eighty two.
Grab yourself a sweet sixteen,
cause, Johnny when you're old,
when you're old I've been told
it's hard to land them
when you're losing your pep.
Johnny one step two step
but watch your step
Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and fall in line
for you'll need her in the summer time.

Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and come along.
Johnny get a pearl with a curl,
take a whirl and you can't go wrong.
You can read a magazine
when you are eighty two.
Grab yourself a sweet sixteen,
cause, Johnny when you're old,
when you're old I've been told
it's hard to land them
when you're losing your pep.
Johnny one step two step
but watch your step
Johnny get a girl, get a girl,
get a girl and fall in line
for you'll need her in the summer time.
