Mister Buttin 1904 JPitt-Payne

There's lots of funny things in life
to make a fellow smile,
and lots of funny characters
of ev'ry form and style,
there's "Hooligan" and "Easy Mark"
and dear old "Sunny Jim,"
but none of them are in it
with the man who butts right in.

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.

You meet a friend upon the street
you haven't seen for years,
and "Mister Buttin" butts right in
he thinks his presence cheers,
you turn him down
he's up again,
oh, nothing fazes him.
You know him when you see him
for he's always buttin' in.

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.

It always disappoints a girl
when spooning with a man,
to have old "Buttin" buttin' in
and spoil her little plan,
for two is lovely company
while three's an awful crowd,
but Mister Buttin' tumbles
if you whistle out aloud:

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.

He's Mister Buttin.
oh, Mister Buttin,
and he always thinks that
he is in the swim,
He puts his foot in
this Mister Buttin
and you'll always find him buttin,'
buttin' in.
