[1st verse:]
|
Nellie Green met Harry Lee
|
At a masquerade the other night
|
He liked she and she liked he
|
Just a case of love at single sight
|
He took Nellie home that eve
|
Also took the number of her phone
|
Just before he took his leave
|
Nellie whispered in the cutest tone
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Call me up some rainy afternoon
|
I'll arrange for a quiet little spoon
|
Think of all the joy and bliss
|
We can hug and we can talk about the weather
|
We can have a quiet little talk
|
I will see that my mother takes a walk
|
Mum's the word when we meet
|
Be a mason, don't repeat
|
Angel eyes, are you wise?
|
Goodbye
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
He look'd wise, then looked for rain
|
Sure enough it rained that Saturday
|
"Give me three, four, five, six Main
|
Nellie dear, prepare I'm on my way"
|
When he rang the front door bell
|
No one there responded to his call
|
Soon he heard his pretty Nell
|
Singing to somebody in the hall
|
|
[2nd refrain:]
|
Call me up some rainy afternoon
|
Then again how's the evening for a spoon
|
Call around tomorrow night
|
We can then put out that fire in the furnace
|
My mama will sure be out of town
|
She'll be entertained by Mister Brown
|
My Papa won't be 'round, he will call on Missus Brown
|
Angel pet, don't forget
|
Goodbye
|
