Subject: Lyr Add: OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL (Brown/Ayer)
From The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL DOLL
Words, Seymour Brown. Music, Nat D. Ayer. 1911.

1. Honey dear,
Want you near.
Just turn out the light and then come over here.
Nestle close up to my side.
My heart's afire
With love's desire.
In my arms, rest complete.
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet,
Till I met you, some time ago;
But now you know I love you so.

CHORUS: Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great, big beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you.
I could never live without you.
Oh! you beautiful doll,
You great, big beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me, how my heart will ache!
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you beautiful doll!

2. Precious prize,
Close your eyes.
Now we're goin' to visit Lovers' Paradise.
Press your lips again to mine,
For love is king
Of ev'rything.
Squeeze me, dear! I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear.
This is how I'll go through life:
No care or strife when you're my wife. CHORUS
