Lyrics
1. Every night, yes every night
Right across the way from me
Every night, yes, every night
Something’s there that I can see
There’s a sweet young girlie who retires early
Though I don’t mean any wrong
I always sing this song
Chorus:
Oh! my love, won’t you please pull down the curtain
Oh! my love, can’t you see I’m madly flirtin’
Oh! my love, won’t you please put out that light
I can look at you for an hour or two
But I can’t stay up all night
2. Ten o’clock, at ten o’clock
I can see her standing there
Twelve o’clock, at twelve o’clock
She starts taking down her hair
On A.M. each morning, I stand there a-yawning
It is almost break of day before she hears me say
Chorus:
Oh! my love, won’t you please pull down the curtain
Oh! my love, can’t you see I’m madly flirtin’
Oh! my love, won’t you please put out that light
I’m here a-peepin’, my wife is sleepin’
If she catches me, goodnight
