The Matinee Maid 1904 'It Happened in Nordland'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Feb 2004

If ev'ry day were Saturday
how happy we would be,
each Saturday a matinee we'd see;
'twould be a heaven on this earth
we wouldn't ask for more
than Saturday from two to half past four.
From two to half past four!
Drew! Drew! Lovely John Drew,
Hackett and Southern and Joe Wheelock too.
To you our hearts are true
ever true blue to you.
Drew! Drew! Lovely John Drew,
Hackett and Southern and Joe Wheelock too.
Humbly we worship where ever you play.
Oh that life were but one long matinee!

[Dance:]

There's one exceeding dear to us,
a "Music Master" he,
fond devotees of him indeed are we!
Would you enjoy a lovely weep?
A satisfying cry?
Then hurry up and seats for Warfield buy!
From two to half past four!
Dave! Dave! O'er you we rave!
You have made each of us wholly your slave.
To you our hearts are true
ever true blue to you.
Dave! Dave! O'er you we rave!
You have made each of us wholly your slave.
Humbly we worship where ever you play.
Oh that life were but one long matinee!

[Dance:]

One of our idols glitters in
The "County Chairman" Case,
upon our list he's very far from last,
That all your troubles you'll forget!
You may quite certain be,
If Sweatnam as old "Sassafrass" you see.
From two to half past four!
'Sass! Sass! Ole Sassafrass!
Yo' is plum sholy alone in yo' class!
To you our hearts are true
ever true blue to you.
'Sass! Sass! Ole Sassafrass!
Yo' is plum sholy alone in yo' class!
Humbly we worship where ever you play.
Oh that life were but one long matinee!

[Dance:]
