Lyrics

  1. Arabella Smith is a riot with
    Every boy who ever comes her way
    Fellows come in flocks
    Stand in line for blocks
    Every evening you can hear them saying

Chorus:
Say Arabella, what’s “fella” to do
If you won’t tell a “fella”
Well, a “fella” gets blue
You should pick somebody out
But you just keep ’em in doubt
Most every “fella” goes a-calling on you
Most every evening there’s a hundred or two
You never say who is who
Say Arabella, what’s a “fella” to do

  1. Arabella’s pa grumbles to her ma
    Is this a convention hall, my dear
    Everything in pants, battles for the chance
    To impair a poor old father’s hearing
