Leonora 1912 or 'That dreamy Honolulu rag'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Jul 2005

Acurlilies playing their music sweet,
dancers softly swaying upon their feet,
Oh! that hypnotyzing music
makes you dance with joy,
squeeze me, hug me, kiss me, love me,
tell me Leonora ain't this just grand.
I could go on dancing
to beat the band,
Oh! Oh! Babe I'll go just crazy
if they start to drag
that dreamy Honolulu rag.

Oh! Leonora
I'd do anything for you,
I'd love and adore you,
this is no idle brag.
Always thinking about you
'cause I can't do without you.
Oh! Babe I'm gone on you
when I see you do
that Honolulu rag.

Oh! Leonora
I'd do anything for you,
I'd love and adore you,
this is no idle brag.
Always thinking about you
'cause I can't do without you.
Oh! Babe I'm gone on you
when I see you do
that Honolulu rag.

Tropic moon is shining its golden gleam,
everyone is having a happy dream,
Gee! it makes you glad you're living
when you hear that tune,
sliding, gliding, mesmerizing
every time I hear it
I'm in a trance,
something fascinating about that dance,
Oh! that Merry Widow waltz,
now is a bygone, gag.
When you hear that Honolulu rag.

Oh! Leonora
I'd do anything for you,
I'd love and adore you,
this is no idle brag.
Always thinking about you
'cause I can't do without you.
Oh! Babe I'm gone on you
when I see you do
that Honolulu rag.

Oh! Leonora
I'd do anything for you,
I'd love and adore you,
this is no idle brag.
Always thinking about you
'cause I can't do without you.
Oh! Babe I'm gone on you
when I see you do
that Honolulu rag.
