In me you see the product
of the latest female fad,
Of higher education
quite a quantity I've had.
Je parle Francais,
Und spreche Deutsch
Ach Ja! Out tout au fait!
But English has the dearest charms
when I hear people say:

Ev'ryone loves a Parthenia Johnsing,
Kase she is so fair!
Ev'ry one says a Parthenia Johnsing's
way beyond compare!
Evah you see a Parthenia Johnsing
prancin' down the street,
You'se boun' to say
Um um Parthenia.
My! You sho' is sweet!

Ev'ryone loves a Parthenia Johnsing,
Kase she is so fair!
Ev'ry one says a Parthenia Johnsing's
way beyond compare!
Evah you see a Parthenia Johnsing
prancin' down the street,
You'se boun' to say
Um um Parthenia.
My! You sho' is sweet!

My Papa's reputation
as the leader of his set,
and my higher education
makes me quite the social pet.
At ev'ry hightone gathering,
and at ev'ry swell affair,
As soon as I step in the hall
you hear the folks declare:

Ev'ryone loves a Parthenia Johnsing,
Kase she is so fair!
Ev'ry one says a Parthenia Johnsing's
way beyond compare!
Evah you see a Parthenia Johnsing
prancin' down the street,
You'se boun' to say
Um um Parthenia.
My! You sho' is sweet!

Ev'ryone loves a Parthenia Johnsing,
Kase she is so fair!
Ev'ry one says a Parthenia Johnsing's
way beyond compare!
Evah you see a Parthenia Johnsing
prancin' down the street,
You'se boun' to say
Um um Parthenia.
My! You sho' is sweet!
