Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Bring Back Those Wonderful Days
The following additional chorus was sung by Arthur Collins, Arthur Fields, and Bert Williams:

Oh, won't you take back the installment-plan collectors?
Won't you take back the income-tax inspectors,
And the friends that take you out and let you treat,
And the janitors that never give you any heat?
Oh, take back those tip-expecting waiters.
Won't you take back those red-flag agitators?
Ev'ry night I pray:
'Take those pests away.
And bring back those wonderful days.'

The following additional chorus was sung by Arthur Collins, Arthur Fields, and Bert Williams:

Bring back the brew that used to trickle.
Won't you bring back the big ones for a nickel,
And the nice brass rail all polished up so bright,
And the fam'ly entrance after twelve o'clock at night?
Oh, bring back the ale that was so musty.
Won't you bring back the can that's getting rusty?
Drinking ginger ale
Makes me weak and pale.
Won't you bring back those wonderful days?

The following additional chorus was sung by Arthur Collins:

Bring back the maid demure and simple.
Won't you bring back the beauty mark and dimple,
And the dainty sonnet and the crinoline,
Long before the baby vampire came upon the scene?
Oh, bring back those good old-fashioned dances.
Won't you bring back those coy and bashful glances.
What a joy 'twould be,
Both for you and me.
Could we bring back those wonderful days?
