That Midnight Frolic Of Mine 1916

I've discovered a great idea,
maybe some folks will think it queer,
I'm off swell cafés
through with cabarets
I go home ev'ry night.
All my family wait for me,
to the parlor we go, and,
My big brother Able
moves the parlor table,
then we put on a show.

And Sister Doris
plays the Opening Chorus,
and brother Lou,
he sings a song or two,
Pa and Ma get out on the floor,
If the Castles ever see them
they goin' to be sore.
My sisters are charmers
in colored pajamas,
and when it's over we dine.
Many guys who think they're wise
would be losing both their eyes,
at that midnight frolic of mine.

When Cousin Lulu does
the old hula hula,
it would make you groan,
each movement is her own.
All his neighbors say it's a sin,
and I know why they're complaining
We won't let them in.
And as the show closes
my wife she proposes,
and Venus looks like a shine.
Rockefeller with his dough,
couldnt put on such a show,
as that midnight frolic of mine.

We do ev'rything up in style,
we have ev'rything home worth while,
We have lots of wine,
and the food is fine,
What I save pays the rent,
All you rounders would stay at home,
and enjoy it like me, though,
Some of you may doubt it,
You'd be wild about it,
If you ever could see.

And Sister Doris
plays the Opening Chorus,
and brother Lou,
he sings a song or two,
Pa and Ma get out on the floor,
If the Castles ever see them
they goin' to be sore.
My sisters are charmers
in colored pajamas,
and when it's over we dine.
Many guys who think they're wise
would be losing both their eyes,
at that midnight frolic of mine.

When Cousin Lulu does
the old hula hula,
it would make you groan,
each movement is her own.
All his neighbors say it's a sin,
and I know why they're complaining
We won't let them in.
And as the show closes
my wife she proposes,
and Venus looks like a shine.
Rockefeller with his dough,
couldnt put on such a show,
as that midnight frolic of mine.
