No. 18 - Song - Isabel and Chorus
Isabel: | There's a girl you may have met, If you have you won't forget, She is Maisie, |
Chorus: | She is Maisie, |
Isabel: | Though her hair is rather red, She can turn a fellow's head, Make him crazy. |
Chorus: | Make him crazy. |
Isabel: | Now she isn't slimly built, And her nose has qute a tilt, And you'll hear the other girls declare That they really cannot see What attraction there can be, But she manages to get right there. Maisie is a daisy, Maisie is a dear, For the boys are mad about her, And they can't get on without her, And they all cry "whoops" when Maisie's coming near. Maisie doesn't mind it, Maisie let's them stare; Other girls are so uncertain When they do a bit of flirting, But Maisie gets right there. |
Chorus: | Maisie is a daisy, Maisie is a dear, For the boys are mad about her, And they can't get on without her, And they all cry "whoops" when Maisie's coming near. Maisie doesn't mind it, Maisie let's them stare; Other girls are so uncertain When they do a bit of flirting, But Maisie gets right there |
Isabel: | But she also thinks it fun To go out with only one, Little Maisie, |
Chorus: | Little Maisie, |
Isabel: | And she may be far from home When the gloaming's on the gloam, Dim and hazy. |
Chorus: | Dim and hazy. |
Isabel: | Then the stars come out above And suggest a dream of love, And there's passion in the balmy air; So if any handsome chap Has a comfortable lap, Maisie manages to get right there. Maisie is a daisy, Maisie is a dear, When she takes a fellow walking They do not go in for talking, But he just says "mps" and there's nothing more to hear; Maisie rather likes it, Maisie says "You dare." Other girls when they are kissing Will go fooling round and missing, But Maisie gets right there. |

Isabel: | But the girl that scores the most At a town upon the coast That is Maisie, |
Chorus: | That is Maisie, |
Isabel: | For a donkey ride or row She is always on the go, Never lazy. |
Chorus: | Never lazy. |
Isabel: | She'll be bathing in the bay Where the regulations say That the gentlemen must go elsewhere; But the current now and then Takes her in among the men, And of course she has to land right there. Maisie is a daisy, Maisie is a dear, And she likes the boys to chaff her And the men to photograph her, For they all cry "whoops," as they see her from the pier; Maisie poses nicely, Maisie thinks it rare. Other pretty girls provoke us By retiring out of focus, But Maisie stops right there. |
