And here are the lyrics with the car verse included:

I NEVER SEE MAGGIE ALONE (Maggie Dear)
(Words by Harry Tilsley, Music by Everett Lynton)
©1926 Bourne Company/Kassner Edward Music Co. (ASCAP)

Maggie Dear just won't go out alone.
It seems that she must have a chaperone.
When we go out, no matter where we're bound,
There's always somebody around.

She brings her father, her mother her sister and her brother,
Oh I Never See Maggie Alone.
She brings her uncles, her cousins, she's got 'em by the dozens,
Oh I Never See Maggie Alone.

And if I phone her, say to her sweet, "Where shall we meet?
Supposing that we eat,"
She brings her father, her mother her sister and her brother,
Oh I Never See Maggie Alone.

I bought a roadster, two seated - I even had it heated
So I could see Maggie alone.
We were out riding and kissin', the engine started missin'
And we were a long ways from home.

I got right out then as fast as I could;
I found out what was wrong when I opened up the hood:
There was her father, her mother her sister and her brother,
Oh I Never See Maggie Alonee.

One day she said she was wishin' that I would take her fishin'-
Oh I knew I'd see Maggie alone!
In a canoe then, we two then went glidin' o'er the water
Far from the noise of her home.

I threw my line in - I thought I'd catch a trout,
I got a bite and I pulled the line right out.

There was her father, her mother her sister and her brother,
I Never See Maggie Alone.
She brings her uncles, her cousins - she's got 'em by the dozens,
Oh I Never See Maggie,
I'd love to see Maggie
I Never See Maggie Alone

Alternate lyrics:
*You'll see her mater, her pater,
but don't you try to date her
'Cause you'll Never See Maggie Alone.



Note: One online lyric source says "
written by Ralph Covert ©2003 Waterdog Music (ASCAP)," but I think that's wrong. I'm betting on the Harry Tisdale/Everett Lynton attribution.
