Rudolph Valentino Blues 1922

Pretty little Mary Brown
never cared to go around,
with any village fellows,
it seemed she always turned them down.
Boys all used to wonder why,
So they peeked in on the sly
and saw her sitting
with her knitting
then they heard her sigh:

Oh Mister Rudolph Valentino
I know I've got
the Rudolph Valentino Blues
And when you come upon the screen,
Oh! You're so romantic,
I go frantic at the views,
You've got a way of making love
That Wally Reid knows nothing of
and the lady that you're wooing,
don't know what you're doing
You must have taken lessons
from a turtle dove.
I saw you playing "Heavy Lover"
out on the desert
of Sahara in "The Sheik"
Just think of all
the ground you cover,
I saw you making love in Frisco
that same week
but when you walk
upon the curtain,
I'll say you certainly do know
the kind to choose,
That's why I've got the movie scene, Oh!
The you know what I mean, Oh!
The Rudolph Valentino Blues.
