The Band Played All the Time 1915

"Howdy do little girl,"
"How are you little boy,"
It's the way we met one night,
When I first caught your eye,
you were bashful and shy,
but we got along alright,
We were starting to spoon,
While the band played a tune,
and the stars were all aglow,
And I sure would have carried you
right off and married you
Only you said no:

And the band played all the time,
while I held your hand in mine,
You sighed to me,
you lied to me,
beside the side of the beautiful sea,
to a croony, spooney tune,
Underneath the silv'ry moon,
oh I kissed you from seven
till half past eleven,
and the band played all the time.

And the band played all the time,
while I held your hand in mine,
You sighed to me,
you lied to me,
beside the side of the beautiful sea,
to a croony, spooney tune,
Underneath the silv'ry moon,
oh I kissed you from seven
till half past eleven,
and the band played all the time.

What a beautiful night,
what a beautiful sight,
as we strolled and strolled along,
Then we sat down awhile,
Only just for a while,
and of course that wasn't wrong,
Then we strolled once again,
while we kissed now and then,
and it seemed that you were blue,
So I fondly caressed you
just to interest you,
but no one ever knew:

And the band played all the time,
while I held your hand in mine,
You sighed to me,
you lied to me,
beside the side of the beautiful sea,
to a croony, spooney tune,
Underneath the silv'ry moon,
oh I kissed you from seven
till half past eleven,
and the band played all the time.

And the band played all the time,
while I held your hand in mine,
You sighed to me,
you lied to me,
beside the side of the beautiful sea,
to a croony, spooney tune,
Underneath the silv'ry moon,
oh I kissed you from seven
till half past eleven,
and the band played all the time.
