Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Organ-Grinder's Serenade
Subject: Lyr Req: Her Last Serenade
When I was a kid, back in the thirties, my father used to sing us a song that I confuse with "After The Ball", or maybe it was a variation of that song. Here are some of the lyrics as I remember them. "After the ball is over, just at the break of day, after the dancers are leaving please mister come every day". And another few words, "sleep baby sleep, mama will surely watch you, creep baby creep, papa will surely catch you". And the last ones that I recall were "the same old sweet tunes that were played night and noon were her last serenade". If anyone can help me with this I would sure appreciate it.As I recall Dad sang it to the tune of "After The Ball".
