Two Laughing Irish Eyes 1915 'The Princess Pat'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Jun 2004

Whether young man or old man,
or timid or bold man,
there's one thing he cannot resist,
'tis the glance of your eye
which he takes to imply
that perhaps you would like to be kissed!
And so great his conceit is,
your conquest complete is,
he's in for an awful surprise,
when he finds, to the shame of him,
you have made game of him,
all through a pair of bright eyes!

When a glance you are stealing,
he finds is so appealing
that he can't steal the feeling if he tries!
In a smile there's a token
of promises unspoken!
Sure, there's many a heart been broken
by two laughing, Irish eyes!
