Oh! Lady! Stop Rolling Your Eyes! 1919

Ship Ahoy! A Yankee boat has stranded
on a southern Fiji Isle.
Ship Ahoy! The Yankee boys have landed
while the natives greet them with a smile.
And there on the beach
a sweet little peach,
a Queen and the islanders pride,
starts to rolling her eyes
in joyful surprise
as the Yankee boys all cried:

Oh Lady! Oh Lady!
Lady, stop rolling your eyes!
And just remember I'm only a man,
so please be careful, dear,
if you can and Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
please stop sighing those sighs!
Your love is like the sea
that keeps me afloat
but remember I'm a sailor, dear,
and not a boat
Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
Lady! Stop rolling those eyes!

Oh Lady! Oh Lady!
Lady, stop rolling your eyes!
And just remember I'm only a man,
so please be careful, dear,
if you can and Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
please stop sighing those sighs!
Your love is like the sea
that keeps me afloat
but remember I'm a sailor, dear,
and not a boat
Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
Lady! Stop rolling those eyes!

Ship Ahoy! The Yankee boat is sailing
back again to Yankee land,
Ship Ahoy!
The boys are at the railing
waving to the natives on the sand.
And there on the beach
the same little peach
starts rolling her eyes all in vain.
For out of the bay
the ship sails away
as the boys sing this refrain.

Oh Lady! Oh Lady!
Lady, stop rolling your eyes!
And just remember I'm only a man,
so please be careful, dear,
if you can and Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
please stop sighing those sighs!
Your love is like the sea
that keeps me afloat
but remember I'm a sailor, dear,
and not a boat
Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
Lady! Stop rolling those eyes!

Oh Lady! Oh Lady!
Lady, stop rolling your eyes!
And just remember I'm only a man,
so please be careful, dear,
if you can and Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
please stop sighing those sighs!
Your love is like the sea
that keeps me afloat
but remember I'm a sailor, dear,
and not a boat
Oh! Lady! Oh! Lady!
Lady! Stop rolling those eyes!
