Tobie I Kind O' Likes You 1900

I always said I'd never wed,
Ma heart I'd never lose
I thought I'd ramble
through life alone.
Still, I'm afraid, a little maid
will make me change ma views,
but you can gamble she's all ma own.
Now to tell the truth,
I love her!
An' I'm tryin' to discover
exactly what a pull I've got
with ma own baby dear.
And I really thought 'twould daze her,
But it didn't ever faze her
When on ma breast her head I pressed
an' whispered in her ear:

Tobie, I kind o' likes you
Can't I steal a kiss?
Maybe you'll let me squeeze you baby!
I loves to tease you!
Tell me, just how it strikes you
when I whisper this:
"My Tobie I kind o' likes you! Tobie!"

Tobie, I kind o' likes you
Can't I steal a kiss?
Maybe you'll let me squeeze you baby!
I loves to tease you!
Tell me, just how it strikes you
when I whisper this:
"My Tobie I kind o' likes you! Tobie!"

Las' night, at eight,
I had a date
to meet her in the park
an' there I spied her
with some swell dude,
An' what was worse,
I heard his voice,
Love making in de dark,
right close beside her,
like they were glued.
Up a tree I done some sneakin'
Then I heard ma baby speakin':
"Coon glide away,
'taint safe to stay,
ma man will 'tend to you!"
I could feel ma chest expandin'
when she spoke up so commandin'
Then down I slipped,
dat swell coon skipped,
I whispered as he flew:

Tobie, I kind o' likes you
Can't I steal a kiss?
Maybe you'll let me squeeze you baby!
I loves to tease you!
Tell me, just how it strikes you
when I whisper this:
"My Tobie I kind o' likes you! Tobie!"

Tobie, I kind o' likes you
Can't I steal a kiss?
Maybe you'll let me squeeze you baby!
I loves to tease you!
Tell me, just how it strikes you
when I whisper this:
"My Tobie I kind o' likes you! Tobie!"
