Thou Swell 1927

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 01 Mar 2004

[Martin:] Babe, we are well met,
as in a spell met,
I lift my helmet,
Sandy; you're just dandy.
For just this here lad.
You're such a fistfull,
my eyes are mistfull,
are you too wistfull to care,
do say you care to say:
"Come near lad."
You are so graceful,
have you wings?
You have a face full of nice things;
you have no speaking voice, dear,
with ev'ry word it sings.

Thou swell, thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both mine eyes are cute too;
what they do to me.
Hear me holler
I choose a Sweet LollaPaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two;
two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do;
give me just a plot of,
not a lot of land and
Thou swell! Thou witty! Thou grand!

Thou swell, thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both mine eyes are cute too;
what they do to me.
Hear me holler
I choose a Sweet LollaPaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two;
two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do;
give me just a plot of,
not a lot of land and
Thou swell! Thou witty! Thou grand!

[Sandy:] Thy words are queer, sir,
Unto mine ear, sir,
yet thour't a dear, sir,
To me; Thou couldst woo me;
Now couldst thou try, knight.
I'd murmur "swell," too,
and like it well too;
More thou wilt tell to Sandy.
Thou art dandy;
Now art thou my knight.
Thine arms are martial,
Thou hast grace;
My cheek is partial to thy face;
And if thy lips grow weary,
Mine are their resting place.

Thou swell, thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both mine eyes are cute too;
what they do to me.
Hear me holler
I choose a Sweet LollaPaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two;
two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do;
give me just a plot of,
not a lot of land and
Thou swell! Thou witty! Thou grand!

Thou swell, thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both mine eyes are cute too;
what they do to me.
Hear me holler
I choose a Sweet LollaPaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two;
two rooms and kitchen
I'm sure would do;
give me just a plot of,
not a lot of land and
Thou swell! Thou witty! Thou grand!
