Subject: Tune Req: Popsy Wopsy
Greetings!

I'm trying to find sheet music for the British Music Hall song "Popsy Wopsy". I'm trying to learn it for the accordion, so I'm hoping for both the melody and bass.

Two played versions:

Lyrics:
Popsy was a singer in a
West End revue,
Sang the sort of ditties that
the people all knew
Every night they used to turn the
limelight strong
On someone's face while
she sang her song....
But if she threw him a kiss...
"I'll bet she fancies me..."

Sing to me, my little Popsy Wopsy!
Turn the limelight right on me!
When on that stage you come
My little heart beats just like a drum.
I shall dream about you all night tonight.
You're the sweetest kid I've seen.
I would kiss you, my Popsy,
But there's one thing stops me--
Those footlights in between.
