Will You Meet Me 1912

'Twas at a ball one evening
that I met a charming girl,
she'd bright blue eyes,
she'd golden hair,
her teeth were just like pearl
and as we waltz'd around the room,
she nearly turned my head,
that evening when I saw her home,
these words to her I said:

Will you meet me, will you meet me,
will you met me on the corner of the street?
I'll be there my hootsie wootsie,
waiting on the same old beat, beat, beat.
If you do not disappoint me,
I will take you, my dear,
to see the play,
and after the show,
why to supper we will go,
and I'll love you in the same old way.

Will you meet me, will you meet me,
will you met me on the corner of the street?
I'll be there my hootsie wootsie,
waiting on the same old beat, beat, beat.
If you do not disappoint me,
I will take you, my dear,
to see the play,
and after the show,
why to supper we will go,
and I'll love you in the same old way.

My sweetheart did not disappoint,
I took her to see the play,
and when I told her of my love,
she did not turn away,
I saw her safely home again,
I lingered long and late,
and when I'd said my last goodnight,
I whispered from the gate.

Will you meet me, will you meet me,
will you met me on the corner of the street?
I'll be there my hootsie wootsie,
waiting on the same old beat, beat, beat.
If you do not disappoint me,
I will take you, my dear,
to see the play,
and after the show,
why to supper we will go,
and I'll love you in the same old way.

Will you meet me, will you meet me,
will you met me on the corner of the street?
I'll be there my hootsie wootsie,
waiting on the same old beat, beat, beat.
If you do not disappoint me,
I will take you, my dear,
to see the play,
and after the show,
why to supper we will go,
and I'll love you in the same old way.
