Wave To Me 1927

They stood upon the platform
a lover and his lassie
his lips were pressed to hers
and he'd his arms around her chassis.
The guard he blew his whistle
then she jumped into the train
and leaning thro' the window there
she sang this sweet refrain:

Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me,
wave!
Now I'm leaving you sweetheart.
Like your old bald head
it's hard to part.
I want to snivel
like the very divil,
so help me to be brave,
As Mister Baldwin
shouted to the Bolshies
on their way to Russia
Wave to me
Wave to me
Wave!

Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me,
wave!
Now I'm leaving you sweetheart.
Like your old bald head
it's hard to part.
I want to snivel
like the very divil,
so help me to be brave,
and now I'm going a tatas
up to London
on a choochoochoocher
Wave to me
Wave to me
Wave!

Alas! poor lass in London
one night in Piccadilly
she broke the pledge,
her mother's heart,
and a p'liceman's nose
how silly!
and as they led her gently
thro' the crowded thoroughfare,
she shouted out to Nelson
standing in Trafalgar Square.

Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me,
wave!
Now I'm leaving you sweetheart.
Like your old bald head
it's hard to part.
I want to snivel
like the very divil,
so help me to be brave,
As skinny Lizzie
shouted in the bath
as she slipped
down the plughole,
Wave to me
Wave to me
Wave!

Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me!
Wave to me,
wave!
Now I'm leaving you sweetheart.
Like your old bald head
it's hard to part.
I want to snivel
like the very divil,
so help me to be brave,
As our new baby
shouted to the stork
as he came down the chimney,
Wave to me
Wave to me
Wave!
