The Dear Little Girl Who Is Good 1905 'Mlle. Modiste'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 30 Aug 2004

You may pledge in a bumper
the girl who is wise,
or the girl who is shapely and fair!
You may drink to the maid
with the roguish blue eyes,
or the queen with the raven black hair.
There's the rollicking girl
who's the toast of the crowd
when the bright sparkling wine plays a part,
but there's one name
too sacred to mention aloud,
though you pledge her
deep down in your heart.
For boys will be boys
and the world and it's joys
we partake of as free as they're sent,
Wine women and song!
What care we if we're wrong!
Time enough when we're not to repent!
But the world's weary smile
only charms for a while
and we'd banish it all if we could
just to drink a fond toast
to the one we love most!
To the dear little girl who is good
The dear little girl who is good.
