The Little Chauffeur 1906 'The Vanderbilt Cup'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 May 2005

The auto is the newest craze almost insanity
it set the social world ablaze
and pleased its vanity.
But still the fad unearthed a gem
a wonder, dear, polite
to whom you can say loving things
and still be in the right.

The little chauffeur, the reigning rage
a real eighth wonder of the age.
And all that you do is strictly entre nous
to the little chauffeur, the little chauffeur.

The little chauffeur, the reigning rage
a real eighth wonder of the age.
And all that you do is strictly entre nous
to the little chauffeur, the little chauffeur.

From scandalizing wagging tongues
I know I am immune
because this darling demigod
is always opportune
with each remark and compliment
intended for my ear
and in return I know that I
can safely call him "dear."

The little chauffeur, the reigning rage
a real eighth wonder of the age.
And all that you do is strictly entre nous
to the little chauffeur, the little chauffeur.

The little chauffeur, the reigning rage
a real eighth wonder of the age.
And all that you do is strictly entre nous
to the little chauffeur, the little chauffeur.
