"Bridget O'Flynn (Where've Ya Been?)"
Happiness Boys (Billy Jones & Ernest Hare)
1926
Lyrics by Andrew B. Sterling
Music by Robert King
Bridget O'Flynn! (Yes, father dear, gee whiz.)
Now, don't ya sneakin' in? (I'm glad I'm here.)
Look at the state of your Sunday clothes.
(And look at me shoes and me new silk hose.)
You've been doin' the Charleston, I suppose?
What do you mean, "Charleston"? Bridget O'Flynn
(yes?), just say your prayers (what for?).
You'll need them when your mother comes downstairs.
Bridget O'Flynn (what do you want?), where have you
been? (I was out.) This is a nice time for you to come in.
Well, the boyfriend took me for a ride.
I suppose the car broke down.
Why, no--we just run out of gas about ten miles from town.
And you walked home? (Look at my shoes--ain't it a sin?)
It is. Both your story and your shoes are mighty thin. (Ah,
what do you want a girl to do?) If you have a friend that
owns a canoe, don't go near the water, Bridgy darlin'.
