Here's my transcription from the sheet music at the Levy site:

TESSIE, YOU ARE THE ONLY, ONLY, ONLY
(Will R. Anderson, 1902)

Tessie is a maiden with a sparkling eye.
Tessie is a maiden with a laugh.
Tessie doesn't know the meaning of a sigh.
Tessie's lots of fun and full of chaff.
But sometimes we have a little quarrel, we two.
Tessie always turns her head away.
Then it's up to me to do as all boys do,
So I take her hand in mine and say,

CHORUS: "Tessie, you make me feel so badly,
Why don't you turn around.
Tessie, you know I love you madly,
Babe, my heart weighs about a pound.
Don't blame me if I ever doubt you.
You know I wouldn't live without you.
Tessie, you are the only, only, only."

Tessie has a parrot that she loves quite well.
Polly's just a-learning how to woo.
Tessie tells him ev'rything she has to tell.
Polly thinks he knows a thing or two.
Tessie gave a party at her home one night.
Polly said he'd like to sing a song.
Tessie thought she'd never seen a bird so bright,
When Polly started off in accents strong: CHORUS
