| SAVE A LITTLE ONE FOR ME | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I came out of the house today Missis Benson across the way Was making some tarts for her family So I called out to Missis B Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me' When those lovely tarts I spied 'I'm so fond of them' I cried 'I like big tarts with jam inside Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' Last Christmas morn at a church close by A score of couples were there, Oh my The parson shouted to them 'Your wed!' So I threw some rice at them and said Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me! If she's dark or brown or fair If she's bandy, I don't care Or if you've one with ginger hair Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' Now down our street old Doctor Cragg Has been so busy with his black bag He brought two more kids along today I said, 'Don't give 'em all away' Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me! You were here this afternoon You left two with Missis Moon And as I'm getting married soon Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' Last year I stayed beside the sea Two hundred girls from a factory They went in the sea, and I confess I said, as each one took off a bathing dress Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me! I'm not going out too far Don't think I'm particular I don't care how small they are Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' A girl at a church bazaar sublime Was selling kisses at a bob a time The way she kissed gave me the 'spur' So I went to the stall and said to her Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me! Let me have a kiss I pray Before they bite your face away And I'll pay you next Saturday Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' While I was passing an ice-cream shop Some fellows inside there made me stop The girl who served had the raspberry-stick And I screamed as she gave them all a lick Chorus: 'Save a little one, save a little one Save a little one for me! You're giving Harry, Tom and Dick All of them a lovely lick And I'd like a lick at the raspberry-stick Save a little one for me-e-e-e Save a little one for me' |
