[1st verse:]
|
Nellie Brown, stenographer
|
Working on the second floor
|
Writing letters for a man named Kelly
|
Kelly's wife, a lady thin
|
Calls around, is ushered in
|
Sees her husband fondly kiss Miss Nellie
|
Next morning Kelly whispered in Nell's ear
|
She left the office singing loud and clear
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'm going on a long vacation
|
Oh you railway station
|
First in years so give three cheers
|
Yea bo, yea, hurray, hurray
|
Ev'rybody in creation
|
Needs some recreation
|
My boss guessed I need some rest
|
Yea, I'm going away
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Nellie told the office boy
|
He replied with shrieks of joy
|
Then went in and said to Mister Kelly
|
"Nellie told me where she'd go
|
I can tell your wife you know
|
Don't you think I better go with Nellie?"
|
Next week the office boy and Nellie Brown
|
Were holding hands and singing out of town
|
