Taffy 1908

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Jul 2004

Little Johnnie Brown and pretty Mary Lee,
they are spooning 'neath a shady maple tree,
Johnnie says:
tho' I've met lots of girls before you,
you're the sweetest one of all and I adore you,
you're so pretty you're so witty,
you're so wise,
you're a girl that any boy would idolize,
oh no words of mine can say,
how much I love you, May,
she looks into his eyes and then replies;

Taffy, just a little bit of taffy
may be you think I'm a baby
that you're giving taffy too but you will do,
if you'll just take me
and if I don't love you make me,
I don't want a lot of taffy
dearie all I want is you.

Taffy, just a little bit of taffy
may be you think I'm a baby
that you're giving taffy too but you will do,
if you'll just take me
and if I don't love you make me,
I don't want a lot of taffy
dearie all I want is you.

Johnnie says now you are only teasing, May,
for you know that I mean every word I say,
she replies,
you've said a lot of nice things to me,
but the other boys are diff'rent
when they woo me,
Johnnie dear,
you've wasted time all afternoon,
for you've talked so much
that you forgot to spoon,
now your kiss is more to me,
than all your flattery.
So change your tune we must be going soon.

Taffy, just a little bit of taffy
may be you think I'm a baby
that you're giving taffy too but you will do,
if you'll just take me
and if I don't love you make me,
I don't want a lot of taffy
dearie all I want is you.

Taffy, just a little bit of taffy
may be you think I'm a baby
that you're giving taffy too but you will do,
if you'll just take me
and if I don't love you make me,
I don't want a lot of taffy
dearie all I want is you.
