Strawberries 1909

Ev'ry morning in the good old Summertime,
Hucksters come around with things to sell,
but there's one you'll hear him coming down the line,
Fifteen cents a box you'll hear him yell.
He don't have to ring a bell or blow a horn,
you can hear him just a mile away,
Such a voice I never heard in all my life,
And this is what that huckster yells all day:

Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
in the morning or the afternoon,
you'll hear him with the same old tune,
Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
Here comes the strawberry man.

Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
in the morning or the afternoon,
you'll hear him with the same old tune,
Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
Here comes the strawberry man.

This man's name was Michael Tony Angelo,
He came here from sunny Italy,
One day Pete Mascagni chanced to hear him sing,
Right away he said that man for me,
Five years passed and Michael walked upon the stage,
In his suit of armour how he swelled,
He stepped out to sing
they said he'll be the rage.
But Michael he forgot himself and yelled:

Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
in the morning or the afternoon,
you'll hear him with the same old tune,
Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
Here comes the strawberry man.

Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
in the morning or the afternoon,
you'll hear him with the same old tune,
Strawberries, Strawberries
nice juicy Strawberries,
Here comes the strawberry man.
