Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pretty Little Dear (from Frank Crumit)
Subject: RE: 'Pretty Little Dear' Song Info
I remember my Daddy singing this song to me when I was 4 years old and I always thought it was funny. I've never heard anyone else even having heard it before. He didn't sing all of the verses because I only remember an abbreviated version.
    I took my girl to a swell affair; it was a social hop.
    We danced around until the old folks left and the music stopped.
    Into a restaurant we went; the finest on the street.
    She said she wasn't hungry but this is what she eat.
    A dozen raw, a plate of slaw........
    When she called for pie, I thought I'd die 'cause I had but 50 cents.
      He grabbed me where my pants were loose; with me he swept the floor.
      He threw me over the backyard fence; said, "Don't come here no more."

   I'm sure there is much more he sang and much more I have forgotten but this is what I still remember over 75 years later.
