Subject: Lyr Add: UNDER THE ANHEUSER BUSH
From The Lester S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music:

UNDER THE ANHEUSER BUSH
Words, Andrew B. Sterling. Music, Harry Von Tilzer. 1903

1. Talk about the shade of the sheltering palms.
Praise the bamboo tree and its wide spreading charms.
There's a little bush that grows right here in town.
You know its name. It has won such renown.
Often with my sweetheart, just after the play,
To this little place then my footsteps will stray.
If she hesitates when she looks at the sign,
Softly I whisper, "Now Sue, don't decline."

CHORUS: Come, come, come and make eyes with me,
Under the Anheuser Bush.
Come, come drink some "Budwise" with me,
Under the Anheuser Bush.
Hear the old German band...
Just let me hold your hand. Yah!
Do, do, come and have a stein or two,
Under the Anheuser Bush.

2. Rave about the place where your swells go to dine.
Picture Sue and me with our sandwich and stein.
Underneath the bush where the good fellows meet,
Life seems worth living. Our joy is complete.
If you're sad at heart, take a trip there tonight.
You'll forget your woe and your eyes will grow bright.
There you'll surely find me with my sweetheart Sue.
Come down this ev'ning I'll introduce you.
