The Elevator Man 1912

Andy Gray, young and gay,
was an elevator man,
Like an aviator
in his elevator
all day long he was on the job,
taking people up and down,
Mandy Brook, as a cook,
started working in the place,
and they found her later,
in the elevator,
with Andy, so dandy,
said Mandy: "It's dandy!"

Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
I feel like barrels of dynamite,
blowing up, blowing up,
blowing up, blowing up,
Ev'ry pleasure in the land,
it makes me act,
just like a funny coon,
I could spend my honeymoon,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man.

Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
I feel like barrels of dynamite,
blowing up, blowing up,
blowing up, blowing up,
Ev'ry pleasure in the land,
it makes me act,
just like a funny coon,
I could spend my honeymoon,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man.

Andy Gay, young and gay,
went and married Mandy Brook,
we discovered later,
that the elevator
was the place where the knot was tied,
tied while they were going up,
soon a gal, known as Sal,
came to work in Mandy's place,
and they found her later,
in the elevator,
With Andy, so dandy,
and handy, like Mandy,

Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
I feel like barrels of dynamite,
blowing up, blowing up,
blowing up, blowing up,
Ev'ry pleasure in the land,
it makes me act,
just like a funny coon,
I could spend my honeymoon,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man.

Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
I feel like barrels of dynamite,
blowing up, blowing up,
blowing up, blowing up,
Ev'ry pleasure in the land,
it makes me act,
just like a funny coon,
I could spend my honeymoon,
Going up, going up,
going up, going up,
with the elevator man.
