Thread Name: Lyr Req: Smarty (Norworth, Von Tilzer)
Subject: Willie Green -- seeking lyrics
I am searching for the lyrics to a song that includes the following lines (or something like them):

Now, Willie Green, I think you're mean...

You sneaked away the other day with Nellie...

I am asking on behalf of a friend who got them from his mother. She rememebered _her_ mother singing this song to her as a child, which would have been around the 1930s.

Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
