LIT-TLE LIL-LY WAS OH SO SIL-LY AND SHY,
AND ALL THE FEL-LOWS KNEW,
SHE WOULD-'NT BILL AND COO,
EV-'RY SIN-GLE NIGHT SOME SMART FEL-LOW WOULD TRY,
TO CUD-DLE UP TO HER,
BUT SHE WOULD CRY;
LIL-LY WAS SO GOOD, EV-ERY BO-DY COULD TELL,
YOU'D NEV-ER SEE HER ROAM,
SHE'D AL-WAYS STAY AT HOME,
ALL THE NEIGH-BORS KNEW LIT-TLE LIL-LY TOO WELL,
FOR WHEN THE BOYS WOULD CALL,
THEY'D HEAR HER YELL;
"MA", HE'S MAK-ING EYES AT ME, "MA", HE'S AW-FUL NICE TO ME,
"MA", HE'S AL-MOST BREAK-ING MY HEART,
I'M BE-SIDE HIM, MER-CY LET HIS CONSC-IENCE GUIDE HIM;
"MA", HE WANTS TO MAR-RY ME, BE MY HON-EY BEE,
EV-'RY MIN-UTE HE GETS BOLD-ER,
NOW HE'S LEAN-ING ON MY SHOULD-ER,"MA", HE'S KISS-ING ME.
"MA", HE'S MAK-ING EYES AT ME, "MA", HE'S AW-FUL NICE TO ME,
"MA", HE'S AL-MOST BREAK-ING MY HEART,
IF YOU PEEK IN, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M GOIN' TO WEAK-IN'
"MA", HE WANTS TO MAR-RY ME,
BE MY HON-EY BEE,
MA I'M MEET-ING WITH RE-SIST-ANCE,
I SHALL HOLL-ER FOR AS-SIST-ANCE,
"MA", HE'S KISS-ING ME.
