Lyrics
- Mazie is a modest little country maid
With a manner different and half afraid
Dainty miss is she, pretty as can be
With eyes soft brown she keeps cast down
Ev’ry man that meets her fails in love they say
Thinks her just a shy and timid little jay
Who doesn’t really know a thing of love and so
Though they would like to win her heart, they keep away
Refrain
Modest Mazie, innocent and shy
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
If you kissed her, you’re afraid she’d cry
Oh! Oh! Oh!
But if you make up your mind and try
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
She might tease you, but she’d squeeze you
Not let you go
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
- Mazie met a chap who read her like a book
Smiled when she bestowed on him a frightened look
Then he said “My dear, me you need not fear
I’m going to kiss you just like this”
Mazie thought the world was swimming like a top
When he kissed her she was sure that she would drop
“Don’t” Mazie tried to say and “stop” but in some way
It sounded very much as if she said “Don’t stop”
