Call Me Up Some Rainy Afternoon - Ada Jones (1910)
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:
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 mother takes a walk.
Mum's the word when we meet.
Be a mason--don't repeat.
Angel eyes, are you wise? Goodbye.
He looked 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:
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 mother takes a walk.
Mum's the word when we meet.
Be a mason--don't repeat.
Angel eyes, are you wise? Goodbye.
