Lyrics
Traveled here and there, traveled everywhere,
Been around the globe just some, and
I’ve met maidens by the score, hope to meet some more,
Like to know them just for fun.
Seems that I’m in right with all the pretty girls in town.
Any night that’s bright you’ll find me showing them around;
Always in demand, have to be on hand if any new spoon place is found.
Chorus
Monday Miss Gibson, Tuesday kiss goodbye to Flo,
Wednesday little Fluffy Ruffles, Thursday begorra Molly O’,
Friday Nell Brinkley, Saturday the “widow” of renown,
On Sunday I am off to Sunday School with all the pretty girls in town.
Verse 2
Talk about parades, all the pretty maids
Seem to have an awful case. Why, boys
They flock around me so, don’t know where to go.
Gee this world’s a spoony place.
Every blessed day, why I’m just busy holding hands.
Kisses left and right, say boys it really beats the band, how the girls implore,
Coaxing me for more, it’s something I can’t understand.
