1 Hail Hail the Gang's All Here

Daisy Daisy
give me your answer, do
I'm half crazy,
just for the love of you
it won't be a stylish marriage
I can't afford a carriage
but you'll look sweet
upon the seat
of a bicycle built for two.

Ida! Sweet as apple cider,
Sweeter than all I know,
Come out! In the silv'ry moonlight,
Of love we'll whisper, so soft and low!
Seems as tho' can't live without you,
Listen, please, honey do!
Ida! I idolize yer
I love you, Ida, 'deed I do.
In the region where the roses always bloom,
Breathing out upon the air their sweet perfume,
Lives a dusky maid I long to call my own,
For, I know my love for her will never die;
When the sun am sinking in dat Golden West,
Little robin red breast gone to seek their nests,
And I sneak down to dat place I love the best,
Ever'y evening there along I sigh.

I love you as I never loved before

since first I met you on the village green

come to me or my dream of love is o’r

I love you as I loved you WHEN YOU WERE SWEET

when you were sweet SIXTEEN

when first I saw the love-light in your eyes

I dreamed the world held not but joy for me

& even tho’ we drifted far apart,

I never dream but what I dream of thee

EAST SIDE WEST SIDE ALL AROUND THE TOWN
the kids sang ring around rosies
London Bridge is falling down
boys & girls together
me & Mamie O'Rourke
we tripped the light fantastic on
THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK
EAST SIDE WEST SIDE ALL AROUND THE TOWN
sweet Mamie grew up
& bough herself a sweet little Alice blue gown
all the fellas dug her
you should have heard them squark
when I escorted Mamie round
THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK

EAST SIDE WEST SIDE ALL AROUND THE PARKS
we started swinging at Jilly's
then we split to P.J.Clark's
onto Chuck's Composite
then a drink at The Stork
we won't get home until morning
’cos we're going to take a walk on
THE SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK

EM is for the million things she gave me
O means only that she's growing old
TEE is for the tears she shed to save me
EITCH is for her heart of purest gold
E is for her eyes with love-light shining
ER  means right and right she'll always be
Put them all together they spell MOTHER
