That Frisky Frisco Town 1913

Way back East to New York City
Where the girls are neat and pretty
Went a Frisco boy one day;
Boasting of the Western places
and of San Francisco's graces,
He soon had things coming his own way.
As he strolled along Broadway
He met a maiden who was from old Frisco Town,
Pleadingly she asked him just to take her back,
as she gazed in his big eyes of brown.

Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town.
Never let me go away my honey,
On the Pacific Coast,
I want to be the most,
Take me where the air is balmy
Where they do the Texas Tommy
Let's go to the midway
where the rag never ceases,
Hear that old piano man
a raggin' those pieces,
Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town,
There's where I want to be,
That is the place for me,
In that Frisky, Frisco Town.

Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town.
Never let me go away my honey,
On the Pacific Coast,
I want to be the most,
Take me where the air is balmy
Where they do the Texas Tommy
Let's go to the midway
where the rag never ceases,
Hear that old piano man
a raggin' those pieces,
Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town,
There's where I want to be,
That is the place for me,
In that Frisky, Frisco Town.

As the train was fastly speeding
and behind them they were leaving
New York City lights so bright;
Then her heart was light and cheery,
Life to her was no more dreary,
For in Frisco town she'd be that night.
She said we'll go to the places
where you used to go
and turn night into day,
As they crossed the bay
for dear old Frisco Town,
Then to him with a smile she did say.

Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town.
Never let me go away my honey,
On the Pacific Coast,
I want to be the most,
Take me where the air is balmy
Where they do the Texas Tommy
Let's go to the midway
where the rag never ceases,
Hear that old piano man
a raggin' those pieces,
Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town,
There's where I want to be,
That is the place for me,
In that Frisky, Frisco Town.

Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town.
Never let me go away my honey,
On the Pacific Coast,
I want to be the most,
Take me where the air is balmy
Where they do the Texas Tommy
Let's go to the midway
where the rag never ceases,
Hear that old piano man
a raggin' those pieces,
Take me back to Frisky, Risky, Frisco Town,
There's where I want to be,
That is the place for me,
In that Frisky, Frisco Town.
