Winifred. | ||
My heart, my heart goes pit-a pat,... | ||
O brave and gallant fellow; | ||
For I have often sat... | ||
Within your 'bus so yellow. | ||
I always liked you so,... | ||
Because the 'bus you well drove | ||
When shopping I would go | ||
To Marshall and to Snelgrove, | ||
When shopping I would go | ||
To Marshall and to Snelgrove! |
And now you are my king,... | ||
My captain, chief, commander, | ||
Your praise I'll ever sing,... | ||
Oh, Horace Alexander, Oh, Horace Alexander. |
Winifred. | Horace. |

How sweetly through | |
the air, | How sweetly through |
Dispersing tales of | the air,... |
slander, | Dispersing tales |
There sound the praises fair... | of slander,... |
of Horace Alexander, | Dispersing tales of slander, |
of Horace Alexander | Dispersing tales of slander, |
There sound, there sound the praises fair | There sound, there sound the praises fair |
Of Horace Alexander!... | Of Horace Alexander!... |
Horace. | ||
Although my hopes were nill,... | ||
And love's young dream was blighted, | ||
I kept the horses still... | ||
While you and ma alighted; | ||
I watch'd you pay the fare,... | ||
My love I might not show you, | ||
Nor from the box-seat dare | ||
A single kiss to blow you. | ||
Nor from the box-seat dare | ||
A single kiss to blow you, A single kiss to blow you. |
O Queen of woman kind... | |||
In Britain, France or Flanders, | |||
No heart more true you'll find... | |||
Than Horace Alexander's, Than Horace Alexander's. |
Winifred. | Horace. |
