Thank You Kind Sir 1910 'Jumping Jupiter'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 22 Mar 2005

Crowded thoroughfare, people here and there,
dashing up the Avenue,
Maiden young and shy,
quickly passing by,
something comes in contact with her shoe.
Someone's fallen down,
slipped upon the ground,
it happens on a slipp'ry street.
Kind young gent, who saw the accident,
helps the charming lady to her feet.

"Thank you, kind sir," said she.
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he,
"May I not escort you home?"
"You may not, I'll go alone."
"I've a husband," says she.
"And I've a wife, Miss," said he.
"You needn't call me up," said she.
"My' phone is one, two, three."
"Thank you," said he.

"Thank you, kind sir," said she.
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he,
"May I not escort you home?"
"I would hate to go alone."
"I live here, sir," said she,
"And so do I, Miss" said he.
"Don't dare to call on me," said she,
"I'm always in at three."
"Thank you," said he.

Scene, a near Café,
couple chatting gay,
same young maiden shy and sweet,
on the Hemale end
sits her fellow friend
same young man who helped her to her feet.
Maiden softly speaks:
"I've been sad for weeks,
my darling husband failed last year.
I'm in debt right up to here, you bet."
Fellow whispers something in her ear.

"Thank you, kind sir," said she.
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he,
"May I not escort you home?"
"You may not, I'll go alone."
"I've a husband," says she.
"And I've a wife, Miss," said he.
"You needn't call me up," said she.
"My' phone is one, two, three."
"Thank you," said he.

"Thank you, kind sir," said she.
"Welcome, sweet Miss," said he,
"May I not escort you home?"
"I would hate to go alone."
"I live here, sir," said she,
"And so do I, Miss" said he.
"Don't dare to call on me," said she,
"I'm always in at three."
"Thank you," said he.
