They Always Follow Me Around 1914 Irving Berlin

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 31 Jul 2002

There must be something nice about me,
because the girls can't do without me,
I refuse them but can't lose them,
they always follow me,
I never dare to go out riding
I've always got to keep in hiding
I'm a chappy most unhappy
just because the girls

They follow me around,
all around, all around.
Follow me around,
all around, all around,
I don't know why
they hound me, surround me,
where ever I may be
I can see two or three,
ev'ry other she, wants to be,
on my knee, and any time they find me,
they drag along behind me
It keeps me dodging in hallways
because they always follow me around.

They follow me around,
all around, all around.
Follow me around,
all around, all around,
I don't know why
they hound me, surround me,
where ever I may be
I can see two or three,
ev'ry other she, wants to be,
on my knee, and any time they find me,
they drag along behind me
It keeps me dodging in hallways
because they always follow me around.

I'm followed by young girls goodlooking,
and even cooks who do their cooking
leave their stoves and come in droves,
demanding my autograph,
The matinée I play on Wednesday
is what I've nicknamed
"My Old Hens Day."
Each old maid is on parade,
and when they see me come

They follow me around,
all around, all around.
Follow me around,
all around, all around,
I don't know why
they hound me, surround me,
where ever I may be
I can see two or three,
ev'ry other she, wants to be,
on my knee, and any time they find me,
they drag along behind me
It keeps me dodging in hallways
because they always follow me around.

They follow me around,
all around, all around.
Follow me around,
all around, all around,
I don't know why
they hound me, surround me,
where ever I may be
I can see two or three,
ev'ry other she, wants to be,
on my knee, and any time they find me,
they drag along behind me
It keeps me dodging in hallways
because they always follow me around.
