What a happy girl am I! And I'll tell you the reason why: It's because I am engaged to something dear; He sees me every day; And when he goes away, He whispers gentle words then in my ear.
Chorus: Good-bye, darling, I must leave you; One more kiss before I go; I'll be here to-morrow night; If I cannot come, I'll write Just a word or two to let my darling know.
He has teeth as white as pearls, And such darling little curls! And his name is Larry Augustus Frederick James, He's the pleasure of my life And soon I'll be his wife, And then he has no need to whisper in my ear:
Chorus: Good-bye, darling, &c.
Noe, ladies, if you'll find Any man that's true and kind, You can never be more happy, I am sure. It's so nice to have a beau! And when he tries to go, He whispers gentle words then at the door.
