Show Me Around And Around 1911

Little Willie O'Toole
who had just finished school
had spent all his life on a farm,
It was plain to be seen
Little Willie was green
And to see city life was his charm:
So he picked up his clothes
and away Willie goes
And lands in the city one day,
Met a friend that he knew,
who said: "What shall we do?"
this is what Willie did say.

Show me around and around and around,
Something that I never found,
Something that's nice,
right off the ice
A bird and a bottle
while I have the price
only show me around
and around and around
to have a good time
I am bound:
My old man left me a billion,
come on boys and spend a million,
going around and around.

And she showed him around
and around and around
Something that he never found.
Something was nice,
right off the ice
A bird and a bottle
while he had the price
She showed him around
and around and around
To have a good time she was bound:
His old man left him a billion,
she helped Willie spend a million
going around and around.

Little Willie got gay
when he struck the "white way"
said: "Gee! What a wonderful sight!"
He had tasted the wine,
and it made him feel fine,
He was good, but a little bit tight:
When a dashing soubrette
who by chance Willie met,
He thought he had seen her at school:
"You surely know me,"
"Why of course, dear," said she,
"You're little Willie O'Toole."

Show me around and around and around,
Something that I never found,
Something that's nice,
right off the ice
A bird and a bottle
while I have the price
only show me around
and around and around
to have a good time
I am bound:
My old man left me a billion,
come on boys and spend a million,
going around and around.

And she showed him around
and around and around
Something that he never found.
Something was nice,
right off the ice
A bird and a bottle
while he had the price
She showed him around
and around and around
To have a good time she was bound:
His old man left him a billion,
she helped Willie spend a million
going around and around.
