Ta-Ta 1922

There's a girl who lives across the way from me,
She is pretty, witty, sweet as she can be,
Boys take her out ev'ry evening they call,
Later they come back and stand in the hall,
When ever a boy wants to stay,
She sends him home in this way:

TaTa! I'll have to bid you goodnight,
TaTa! I'll say you treated me right,
Please go, you know, it's getting late,
To be candid,
you take too darn much forgranted,
TaTa! You better leave me alone,
You mustn't hold me so tight,
Tho' you can take me to my door dear,
there isn't any more dear,
TaTa! TaTa! Goodnight.

TaTa! It seems I've known you for years,
TaTa! You've got a lot of ideas,
I'm wise, your eyes, give you away,
Tho' you're quiet,
if you start you'd be a riot,
TaTa! I couldn't give you one kiss,
Not now but some day I might,
Your line of talk is bright and breezy,
But do I look that easy,
TaTa! TaTa! Goodnight.

Thru' my window every evening I would see,
Just what always happened to her company,
She never did anything that was wrong,
Still with the boys some how she'd get along,
An hour or so
they would spend,
This is the way it would end:

TaTa! I'll have to bid you goodnight,
TaTa! I'll say you treated me right,
Please go, you know, it's getting late,
To be candid,
you take too darn much forgranted,
TaTa! You better leave me alone,
You mustn't hold me so tight,
Tho' you can take me to my door dear,
there isn't any more dear,
TaTa! TaTa! Goodnight.

TaTa! It seems I've known you for years,
TaTa! You've got a lot of ideas,
I'm wise, your eyes, give you away,
Tho' you're quiet,
if you start you'd be a riot,
TaTa! I couldn't give you one kiss,
Not now but some day I might,
Your line of talk is bright and breezy,
But do I look that easy,
TaTa! TaTa! Goodnight.
