Dot Davies got flowers and candy,

All the boys thought she was a dandy,

Les would walk a mile Just to see her smile.

Though she smiled on Max and others

Who came their luck to try,

When one little boy

Called her his only joy

She blushed and smiled and then began to sigh:

"Wrap me up in a package, Parson,

And take me home with you.

Any home will do

As long as you are near to cheer me, dearie,

If you wish my heart to win

Just put o'er it a Sig Alph pin.

If you'll wrap me up in a bundle dear

And take me home with you."

THE HIGH COST OF LOVING

 

Bud Glimpse was feeling quite sad,

His sweetheart Ice was treating him bad,

His weekly earnings were fifteen dollars,

They hardly paid for his shirts and collars.

Each time he asked her to go to a dance

She wanted "orchids" and "Roses la France".

He'd take a taxi to take Dizzy there,

Then you would hear poor Buddy swear:

 

CHORUS

 

The high cost of loving, the high cost of loving,

It's driving me mad. Yes, driving me mad.

Brands spends dollars and dimes by the score,

The pace he sets sure makes me sore;

I borrow from brothers,

My friends and some others--

I try to keep up with the style.

She wears pins by the score,

She may get a few more,

But I'll have to stop loving a while.
