I'm trying to learn it for the accordion, so I'm hoping for both the melody and bass. Two played versions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMoQ8YsOkyk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRDZkzVfSNw Lyrics: Popsy was a singer in a West End revue, Sang the sort of ditties that the people all knew Every night they used to turn the limelight strong On someone's face while she sang her song.... But if she threw him a kiss... "I'll bet she fancies me..." Sing to me, my little Popsy Wopsy! Turn the limelight right on me! When on that stage you come My little heart beats just like a drum. I shall dream about you all night tonight. You're the sweetest kid I've seen. I would kiss you, my Popsy, But there's one thing stops me-- Those footlights in between. |

Copyright is 1913, so I'd suspect it to be the same song. It's 10 pounds but it's listed in good condition. Not much help, but it's all I'm finding at present. |
