Oh! Min! 1918

Min was Andy's little wife
never quarrelled in all her life,
got along as nice, as nice could be,
but she started getting wise
to Andy's million alibis,
one morn when he got home at half past three
Andy never suspected, never expected,
the big surprise that Minnie had in store,
'till again he stayed out late,
outside he had to wait,
for Min had put a bolt upon the door,
when he found he was locked out,
the neighbours heard him shout...

Oh! Min! What's the matter Min.
I never saw you act this way before,
Oh! Min! Won't you let me in,
Please come down
and open up this door,
It's mighty cold
a standing here you know,
And dearie there's no place
for me to go,
So, Oh! Min!
Minnie, minnie, Min!
Honey won't you let me in.

Oh! Min! What's the matter Min.
I never saw you act this way before,
Oh! Min! Won't you let me in,
Please come down
and open up this door,
It's mighty cold
a standing here you know,
And dearie there's no place
for me to go,
So, Oh! Min!
Minnie, minnie, Min!
Honey won't you let me in.

Andy leads the simple life
when he goes out, takes his wife,
acts just like he did
when first they wed,
says it isn't so much fun
as lots of things that he has done,
in fact there's times
he wishes he were dead,
He does all Minnie's wishes
washes the dishes,
he never has a real time any more.
He's so tired of angel cake,
that Min has made him bake,
He toes the mark so much
he makes it sore,
he would rather be locked out
and have to stand and shout.

Oh! Min! What's the matter Min.
I never saw you act this way before,
Oh! Min! Won't you let me in,
Please come down
and open up this door,
It's mighty cold
a standing here you know,
And dearie there's no place
for me to go,
So, Oh! Min!
Minnie, minnie, Min!
Honey won't you let me in.

Oh! Min! What's the matter Min.
I never saw you act this way before,
Oh! Min! Won't you let me in,
Please come down
and open up this door,
It's mighty cold
a standing here you know,
And dearie there's no place
for me to go,
So, Oh! Min!
Minnie, minnie, Min!
Honey won't you let me in.
