Kiss Me Good-Night 1913

By an open window
sat Harry and Flo
all alone
nobody home,
paying no attention
to the clock upon the wall,
never dreaming that her dad
was coming home at all.
They were hugging, kissing,
when someone rang the bell,
and Harry fainted
when he heard her yell:
"Oh! dearie!"

Kiss me goodnight
you better kiss me goodnight,
Hon, Hon, Hon, Hon,
better hurry, Papa's home,
so you should worry,
I know just what
my old dad will do,
you came in here
with eyes of brown,
you'll leave with eyes of blue.
So out the window you must go,
you must go,
don't be slow,
just forget the elevator
and become an aviator,
Kiss me goodnight,
it's time to go.

Kiss me goodnight
you better kiss me goodnight,
Hon, Hon, Hon, Hon,
better hurry, Papa's home,
so you should worry,
I know just what
my old dad will do,
you came in here
with eyes of brown,
you'll leave with eyes of blue.
So out the window you must go,
you must go,
don't be slow,
You'll get something to remind you
of the girl you left behind you,
Kiss me goodnight,
it's time to go.

All the neighbors knew
when poor Harry was there,
they would all stand in the hall,
when they hard her daddy's footsteps
coming up the stairs,
they were hoping
he would catch the couple unawares,
but it seems that Floie
had heard those steps before,
for they could hear her shouting
through the door: "Oh! dearie!"

Kiss me goodnight
you better kiss me goodnight,
Hon, Hon, Hon, Hon,
better hurry, Papa's home,
so you should worry,
I know just what
my old dad will do,
you came in here
with eyes of brown,
you'll leave with eyes of blue.
So out the window you must go,
you must go,
don't be slow,
just forget the elevator
and become an aviator,
Kiss me goodnight,
it's time to go.

Kiss me goodnight
you better kiss me goodnight,
Hon, Hon, Hon, Hon,
better hurry, Papa's home,
so you should worry,
I know just what
my old dad will do,
you came in here
with eyes of brown,
you'll leave with eyes of blue.
So out the window you must go,
you must go,
don't be slow,
You'll get something to remind you
of the girl you left behind you,
Kiss me goodnight,
it's time to go.
