When I came out of the house today
Missis Benson across the way
was making some tarts for her familee,
so I called out to Missis B.

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me.
When those lovely tarts I spied
"I'm so fond of them!" I cried.
"I like big tarts with jam inside,
save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.

Last Christmas morn at a church near by
a score of couples were there, oh my!
The parson shouted to them "You're wed!"
So I threw some rice at him and said:

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me.
If she's dark or brown or fair
If she's handy, I don't care,
or if you've one with ginger hair,
save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.

Now, down our street old Doctor Cragg
has been so busy with his black bag
he brought two more kids along today;
I said, "Don't give 'em all away.

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me.
You were here this afternoon,
you left two with Missis Moon,
and as I'm getting married soon,
save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.

Last year I stayed beside the sea
two hundred girls from a factory.
They went in the sea and I confess
I said, as each one took off a bathing dress,

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me.
I'm not going out too far,
don't think I'm particular,
I don't care how small they are,
save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.

A girl at a church bazaar sublime
was selling kisses at a bob a time,
the way she kissed gave me the "spur"
so I went to the stall and said to her.

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me!
Let me have a kiss I pray,
before they bite your face away,
and I'll pay for you next Saturday
save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.

While I was passing an icecream shop
some fellows inside there made me stop
the girl who served had the raspberry stick
and I screamed as she gave them all a lick.

Save a little one,
save a little one,
save a little one for me!
You're giving Harry, Tom and Dick,
all of them a lovely lick,
and I'd like a lick at the raspberry stick
so save a little one for meooo
save a little one for me.
