Saturday Afternoon Till Monday Morning 1912

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 01 May 2002

In August ev'rybody seems
to want a change of air,
With spirits gay and free
Spend a weekend by the sea.
All the week the city clerk
saves up to pay his fare;
From Saturday till Monday
he's a weekend millionaire.
He mingles with the gay and giddy throng,
And sings the very latest chorus song.

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.

After working all the week
you feel you want a blow.
"It's very hot in town."
Well, so says Mister Brown;
Tells his wife that bus'ness calls,
he's sorry he must go.
She sheds a tear at parting,
and her heart is full of woe.
Then she asks a male acquaintance in to tea,
While Brown is picking winkles by the sea.

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.

Poor old Jenkins lost his way
while strolling on the shore.
He'd had a drink or two
Up came a man in blue.
Said Jenkins: "I can't find
my 'digs', it is a beastly bore!
Oh! Mister P'liceman, take me to
my dear old home once more!"
The P'liceman said: "You're tipsy
as can be; You'll have
to come along and stay with me!"

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.

From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning,
That's the time to see them by the sea.
Ev'ryone is gay,
Ev'ryone will say:
"If you want a lark, just follow me
Come on Boys!"
Saturday afternoon till Monday morning,
While they've got the L. S. D.
Hitehiddely Hitehi!
Giving the girls the googoo eye
From Saturday afternoon
till Monday morning.
