Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I walked into a lunatic asylum yesterday
To see a friend I knew, and he was feeling blue
He said, I heard you’re going with a girl that I once knew
And I just told the keeper here, to save a room for you
At breaking hearts that girl of yours, she really is a bear
Keep away, keep away, or she’ll give you the air
Chorus
Cause I got it, you’ll get it, just the same as me
Oh! she had me up a tree, I was nutty as can be
Oh! I got it, you’ll get it, you just wait and see
She’s just like Ethel Barrymore
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more
Oh! I got it, you’ll get it, you’ll wake up, by Heck
When your bankroll is a wreck and you get it in the neck
First, she’ll make you spend your boodle
Then she’ll drive you off your noodle
Jim got it, Jack got it, Joe got it, Bill got it
I got it, you’ll get it just the same as me
- He said that girl of your is just as fikle as can be
And if you are in doubt, just wait and you’ll find out
But I just want to tell you that you’ve got my sympathy
For I know that she’ll treat you just the way she treated me
I’m sure you’ll come around and say that I was right someday
Keep away, keep away, remember what I say
