The Recipe For Love 1908

James Pitt-Payne, London UK 19 Oct 2004

I knew a little miss,
who never, never had received a kiss.
And just as true as stars above,
she never knew how to make love;
but still, she loved to learn
and sadly for a lesson she did yearn,
she asked her mother if she knew
and Mama said:
"Why this is what you do:"

First you get a cozy corner,
then you get a summer night,
next you get a little hammock,
have it fastened good and tight;
get a boy, whose hair is curly
and the moon to shine above,
then you get the boy a girlie,
there's your recipe for love.

First you get a cozy corner,
then you get a summer night,
next you get a little hammock,
have it fastened good and tight;
get a boy, whose hair is curly
and the moon to shine above,
then you get the boy a girlie,
there's your recipe for love.

And now this bashful maid,
she studied hard,
the artful little jade,
and very quick she learned her part,
knows every trick of Cupid's dart;
she worked so hard, you see!
The school of love gave her the first degree,
when she made her graduation speech
to every girl this sermon she did preach:

First you get a cozy corner,
then you get a summer night,
next you get a little hammock,
have it fastened good and tight;
get a boy, whose hair is curly
and the moon to shine above,
then you get the boy a girlie,
there's your recipe for love.

First you get a cozy corner,
then you get a summer night,
next you get a little hammock,
have it fastened good and tight;
get a boy, whose hair is curly
and the moon to shine above,
then you get the boy a girlie,
there's your recipe for love.
