1. Now, Willie Green, I think you're mean.
You ran away and hid.
You sneaked away the other day
With Nellie. Yes, you did.
You did, you did, you know you did.
You didn't? Oh! Such lies!
I saw you with my own two eyes.
You even hugged and kissed her in the lane.
I'm mad, so please don't speak to me again.

CHORUS: Smarty, Smarty, Smarty,
Thought you had a party.
Don't forget what the teacher taught:
You'll be sorry if you get caught.
I'm goin' to tell your mother. Just see if you don't care.
You're nothing but a smarty cat, So there, there, there!

2. Why, Annie Brown, how can you frown?
That's not the way to do.
There's not another girl in town
I love like I love you.
You're jealous. "Fess" up. honor bright.
You know it isn't right,
'Cause that's what makes grown-up folks fight.
Is kissing such an awful, awful crime?
I knew that you were looking all the time.
