That Naughty Melody 1913

Last night I closed my door,
same as the night before,
I heard a noise and said: "Who is it?"
Some melody paid me a visit;
I said: "Now don't get gay,
what will the neighbours say?"
I tried my best
to act real haughty,
gee but that melody was naughty....

Play me that naughty melody,
it's appealing to me,
has me up in a tree,
Gee,
When I'm awake or sleeping
that melody comes creeping into my room,
and says: "I'm here, baby dear,
baby dear, look who's here,
I only heard it once or twice,
Gee it's naughty but nice,
and it seems to entice me,
it always makes me act so funny,
sticks like a friend who has no money,
wonderful strain, that naughty melody.

Play me that naughty melody,
it's appealing to me,
has me up in a tree,
Gee,
When I'm awake or sleeping
that melody comes creeping into my room,
and says: "I'm here, baby dear,
baby dear, look who's here,
I only heard it once or twice,
Gee it's naughty but nice,
and it seems to entice me,
it always makes me act so funny,
sticks like a friend who has no money,
wonderful strain, that naughty melody.

After the lights are low,
right to my bed I go,
some times the pale moon beams are gleaming,
some times I think that I am dreaming.
That naughty melody,
comes in and sings to me.
Just like a lover so devoted,
every note is sugarcoated.

Play me that naughty melody,
it's appealing to me,
has me up in a tree,
Gee,
When I'm awake or sleeping
that melody comes creeping into my room,
and says: "I'm here, baby dear,
baby dear, look who's here,
I only heard it once or twice,
Gee it's naughty but nice,
and it seems to entice me,
it always makes me act so funny,
sticks like a friend who has no money,
wonderful strain, that naughty melody.

Play me that naughty melody,
it's appealing to me,
has me up in a tree,
Gee,
When I'm awake or sleeping
that melody comes creeping into my room,
and says: "I'm here, baby dear,
baby dear, look who's here,
I only heard it once or twice,
Gee it's naughty but nice,
and it seems to entice me,
it always makes me act so funny,
sticks like a friend who has no money,
wonderful strain, that naughty melody.
