Subject: Lyr Add: LOVE LOVE LOVE (Victor H Smalley, 1910?)
From the sheet music at Indiana University:


LOVE, LOVE, LOVE*
Victor H. Smalley
New Orleans: Victor H. Smalley, Orpheum Theatre, 1910?
"Dedicated to the Jacobs Candy Company of New Orleans"

1. You may sing about the dear old moon,
And a banjo and a love-sick coon,
Or a cottage built for two,
With Mabel, Maud or Sue.
They sing them morning, night and noon.
But what's the use of wasting words,
On a shady nook and stars and birds?
Ev'ry girlie that you meet
Much prefers a Jacobs sweet.
There's bliss in ev'ry Jacobs candy kiss.

CHORUS: Love, love, love;
There is nothing so entrancing
As love, love, love.
It sets the world a-dancing.
A maiden with a tender light
Of love in eyes that shine so bright,
And a box of Jacobs made last night,
That's love, love, love.

2. When a boy, I went to Sunday school.
Teacher told me of a good old rule.
She told me it was right
To love ev'ry one in sight.
I did it 'cause I was no fool.
So while other fellows softly sing
Of a preacher and a wedding ring,
From this song just take your cue:
Send her up a box or two
Of Jacobs' candy made for her last night.
