Maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I love London so,

Maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I think of her wherever I go

I get a funny feeling inside of me just walking up and down,

Lets all go down the Strand

Lets all go down the Strand

Lets all go down the Strand

I'll be leader, you can march behind,

Come with me and see what we can find.

Lets all go down the Strand

0h, what a happy band,

That’s the place for fun and noise,

All among the girls and boys,

Underneath the arches, I dream my dreams away,

Underneath the arches on cobblestones I lay,

Everynight you'll find me tired out and worn

Happy when the daylight comes creeping

I hear the trains rattling by above,

Pavement is my pillow, no matter where I stray

Any old iron, any old iron,

Any, any, old, old iron,

You look neat, talk about a treat,

You look dapper from your napper to your feet.

Dressed in style, brand new tile,

And your father's old green tie on,

But I wouldn't give you tuppence for your old watch chain,

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do,

I'm half crazy all for the love of you,

 It won't be a stylish marriage,

 I can't afford a carriage,

 You look sweet, upon the seat

 Of a bicycle made for two.

She was one of the early birds

She was a dear little dickey bird,

Cheep, cheep, cheep she went,

Sweetly she sang to me till all my money was spent

Then she went off song,

We parted on fighting terms,

She was one of the early birds

and I was one of the worms.

When you can't find your way home.

My old man said "Follow the van and don't dilly dally on the way"

Off went the cart with the home packed in it,

I walked behind with my old cock linnet,

But I dillied and dallied, dallied and dillied,

Lost the van and don't know where to roam,

You can't trust the 'Specials' like the old time 'Coppers'

When you can't find your way home.

For me and my gal

The bells are ringing for me and my gal,

The birds are singing for me and my gal

Everybody's been knowing to a wedding they're going,

And for weeks they've been sewing,

Every Susie and Sal.  

They're congregating for me and my gal,

The parson's waiting for me and my gal,

And some time I'm going to build a little home for 2,

For 3 or 4 or more,

In love land, for me and my gal.

I'll be your sweetheart

I'll be your sweetheart, if you will be mine,

All my life I'll be your Valentine.

Bluebells I've gathered,

Keep them and be true,

When I'm a man my plan

Will be to marry you.

Joshua, Joshua

Joshua, Joshua, why don't you come and meet mama,

She'll be pleased to know you are my best beau.

Joshua, Joshua, nicer than lemon squash you are,

Oh by gosh you are, Joshu — Joshu — a.

Doin' the Lambeth Walk

Any time you're Lambeth Way, any evening any day,

You'll find us all doin' the Lambeth Walk.

Every little Lambeth gal with her little Lambeth pal,

You'll find ‘em all doin' the Lambeth Walk.

Ev'rything free and easy, do as you darn well pleasey,

Why don't you make your way there, go there, stay there.

Once you get down Lambeth way, every evening, every day,

You'll find yourself doin' the Lambeth Walk.

Where did you get that hat?

Where did you get that hat? Where did you get that tile?

Isn't it a nobby one, and just the proper style?

I should like to have one just the same as that!

Where-e'er I go they shout "Hello" where did you get that hat?

Ma, he's making eyes at me

Ma, he's making eyes at me, Ma, he's awful nice to me,

Ma, he's almost breaking me heart,

I'm beside him, mercy let his conscience guide him,

Ma, he wants to marry me, be my honey bee,

Every minute he gets bolder, now he's leaning on my shoulder,

Ma, he's kissing me!

By the light, of the silvery moon

By the light, of the silvery moon, I want to spoon,

To my honey I'll croon love's tune,

Honey moon keep a shining in June,

Your silvery beams will make love's dreams,

We'll be cuddling soon, by the silvery moon.

Oh you beautiful doll

Oh you beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll,

Let me put my arms about you, I could never live without you,

Oh you beautiful doll, you great big beautiful doll,

If you ever leave me how my heart will ache,

I want to hug you but I fear you'd break,

Oh — Oh — Oh — Oh, you beautiful doll.

Sing as we go

Sing as we go, and let the world go by,

Singing a song we'll march along the highway,

Say goodbye to sorrow, there's always tomorrow,

To think of today.

Sing as we go, although the skies are grey,

Beggar or king you've got to sing a gay tune,

A song and a smile making life worth while, so,

Sing as we go along.

You must have been a beautiful baby

You must have been a beautiful baby, You must have been a wonderful child,

When you were only startin' to go to kindergarten, I bet you drove the little boys wild

And when it came to winning blue ribbons, You must have shown the other kids how.

I can see the judges eyes as they handed you the prize, I bet you made the cutest bow,

Oh! You must have been a beautiful baby, Cause baby look at you now.

If you were the only girl in the world

If you were the only girl in the world, and I were the only boy,

Nothing else would matter in the world today, we could go on loving in the same old way

A garden of Eden, just made for two, with nothing to mar our joy,

I would say such wonderful things to you, there would be such wonderful things to do,

If I were the only girl in the world, and you were the only boy.

Who's your lady friend

Hello, hello, who's your lady friend, Who's the little girlie by your side,

I've seen you, with a girl or two, Oh, Oh, Oh, I AM surprised at you,

Hello, hello, stop your little games, Don't you think your ways you ought to mend,

It isn’t the girl I saw you with at Brighton, Who who who's your lady friend.

Let me call your sweetheart

Let me call your sweetheart, I'm in love with you,

Let me hear you whisper that you love me too,

Keep the lovelight glowing, in your eyes so true,

Let me call you sweetheart, I'm in love with you.

Alexander’s ragtime band

Come on and hear, Come on and hear, Alexander’s ragtime band,

Come on and hear, Come on and hear, It's the best band in the land,

They can play a bugle call like you never heard before,

So natural that you want to go to war,

That's just the bestest band that am, Honey lamb,

Cone on along, Come on along, Let me take you by the hand,

Up to the man, Up to the man, who's the leader of the band,

And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime,

Come on and hear, Come on and hear, Alexander's ragtime band.

Just with you

It's three o'clock in the morning, We've danced all the whole night through,

And daylight soon will be dawning, Just one more waltz with you,

That melody so entrancing, Seems to be made for us two,

I could keep dancing with you, for ever, dear, just with you.

Goodbye Dolly Gray

Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, Tho‘ it breaks my heart to go, '

Something tells me I an needed, at the front to fight the foe,

See the soldier boys are marching, And I can no longer stay,

Hark I hear the bugle calling, Goodbye Dolly Gray.’
