They're All Sweeties 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 20 Jul 2004

Now when I was a child
Father said I went wild,
just simply crazy 'bout the girls
I used to steal out and play
with all the girls every day
I'd tease and squeeze
and pull their curls
well I'm crazier now
getting wilder I vow
because the girls look good to me
the young girls and the old girls
they were made to love
and I love them all you see.

Because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't keep away from the girls
I like the tall ones,
the small ones
I like 'em when they're mild
I love 'em when they're wild
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
when ever I see one I fall.
I'll dance a skinny one
around all day with me
and spend the evening
slipping off a fat one's knee
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't help loving them all.

Because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't keep away from the girls
I like the bold ones
the cold ones
of gay brunettes I'm fond
and I just love a blonde because
they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
when ever I see one I fall.
A girl of seventeen
can fill my heart with joy
but when they're thirty nine
how they can love, oh Boy
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't help loving them all.

There's the girl with a smile,
she's the girlie worth while,
the kind of girl you want to win
and there's the girl with the pout
like Mary Pickford's lookout
don't miss the dimple on her chin.
Some have cheeks like a rose
others powder their nose
'cause it's as shiny as can be
but take them all together
they were made to love
and I love them all you see,

Because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't keep away from the girls
I like the tall ones,
the small ones
I like 'em when they're mild
I love 'em when they're wild
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
when ever I see one I fall.
I'll dance a skinny one
around all day with me
and spend the evening
slipping off a fat one's knee
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't help loving them all.

Because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't keep away from the girls
I like the bold ones
the cold ones
of gay brunettes I'm fond
and I just love a blonde because
they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
when ever I see one I fall.
A girl of seventeen
can fill my heart with joy
but when they're thirty nine
how they can love, oh Boy
because they're all sweeties
sweet sweet sweeties
I can't help loving them all.
