Somebody Else Is Getting It 1912

I kept company with a pearl
used to call her my dear girl,
spent my money on her you see,
and I thought she'd marry me.
When I lost my job one day
she said: "Goodbye, on your way,"
now she's got another beau
a pal of mine with lots of dough.

Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where his collar ought to be
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where the chicken got the AXE
Somebody else thinks he's in fine,
but he'll get his
where I got mine,
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where she handed it to me.

Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where his collar ought to be
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where the chicken got the AXE
Somebody else thinks he's in fine,
but he'll get his
where I got mine,
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where she handed it to me.

I was awfully good to her
when I drew my fifteen per
ev'ry Saturday night we'd go
to a café concert show.
She'd say: "I'd like lobster, gee!"
then she'd smile and look at me,
where she is now
I don't care
but one thing tickles me for fair!

Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where his collar ought to be
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where the chicken got the AXE
Somebody else thinks he's in fine,
but he'll get his
where I got mine,
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where she handed it to me.

Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where his collar ought to be
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where the chicken got the AXE
Somebody else thinks he's in fine,
but he'll get his
where I got mine,
Somebody else is gettin' it,
gettin' it,
right where she handed it to me.
