I'se got de swellest gal huh name is Lize.
And she's got dem great big rolling dreamy eyes
When she talks she makes you feel
dat dere's sumthin' 'bout her real
dere ain't nuthin' 'bout dat gal dat's mean or sly.
All de wenches dey dun try to throw her down
'coz dey's jealous ob huh clothes
and great renown
it cert'nly am a treat
to watch huh shake huh feet
she's de swellest coon in town
dat ain't no lie.

Talk ob yuh cakewalk winners
dere's none like Liza Skinner
she's right in it all along de line.
She's ma wahm baby mistah
she knocks dem all a twistah
she's all mine
well I guess yes....
You've all heard of Henrietta,
Doris and Isabella
They're not in it with dis crush of mine.
Foh she's de 'riginater
all those are imatators
she wins de cake walk ev'ry time.

Dere was a big gran' ball de othah night
and de coons was dancin' round wid great delight
till dey heard dat she was dere
den dere wuz a gen'ral scare
foh de clos' she wore just took away dere bref.
When 'Liz a come a sailin' troo de do'
such gorgousness dey'd nevah seen befo'
yuh could heah de coons all say
in language 'bout dis way
she's got the othah wenches skinned to death.
