ELSIE

There was a little girl,
I donnot [sic] know her name.
She hangs around the corner every night,
She wears a watch and chain
A derby hat and cane
OH! Elsie, Elsie, Elsie, Elsie, Elsie.
Goodnight darling I must leave you
One more kiss before I go
I will see you Sunday Night
If we do not nave a fight.
Down where the water lillies [sic] grow
