Run Home And Tell Your Mother 1911

The other day a pretty little maid,
dressed in her Sunday clothes,
all alone went strolling up the avenue.
Fellows looked as fellows do,
a certain fellow stopped her as he said:
"I beg your pardon miss,
I've been watching you
for an hour or two,
and I've got to tell you this."

Run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
that they better keep their eyes on you.
Don't forget you're nothing but a pet,
and all the boys are saying
that they'll get you yet,
If you don't watch out,
some fellow will be stealing you,
as fellows often do;
run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
they they better keep their eyes on you.

Run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
that they better keep their eyes on you.
Don't forget you're nothing but a pet,
and all the boys are saying
that they'll get you yet,
If you don't watch out,
some fellow will be stealing you,
as fellows often do;
run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
they they better keep their eyes on you.

The maiden said: "How dare you talk to me,
I'll call an officer,"
Pretty soon an officer was by her side,
"He insulted me," she cried,
The fellow started running down the street,
and pretty soon he fled, while the fellow ran,
mister police man turned unto the maid and said:

Run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
that they better keep their eyes on you.
Don't forget you're nothing but a pet,
and all the boys are saying
that they'll get you yet,
If you don't watch out,
some fellow will be stealing you,
as fellows often do;
run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
they they better keep their eyes on you.

Run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
that they better keep their eyes on you.
Don't forget you're nothing but a pet,
and all the boys are saying
that they'll get you yet,
If you don't watch out,
some fellow will be stealing you,
as fellows often do;
run home and tell your mother,
your father and your brother,
they they better keep their eyes on you.
