Lyrics:
Pretty little Mary Brown, Never cared to go around, With any village fellows, It seemed she always turned them down. Boys all used to wonder why, So they peeked in on the sly And saw her sitting With her knitting Then they heard her sigh:
Chorus
Oh Mister Rodolph Valentino I know I’ve got the Rodolph Valentino blues And when you come upon the screen, Oh! You’re so romantic, I go frantic at the views You’ve got a way of making love that Wally Reid knows nothing of And the lady that you’re wooing Don’t know what you’re doing You must have taken lessons from a turtle dove I saw you playing “Heavy lover,” out on the desert of Sahara in “The Sheik” Just think of all the ground you cover, I saw you making love in Frisco that same week But when you walk upon the curtain, I’ll say you certainly do know the kind to choose, That’s why I’ve got the movie scene, oh! The you know what I mean, oh! The Rodolph Valentino blues. Oh Mister Rodolph Valentino I know I’ve got the Rodolph Valentino blues And when you come upon the screen, Oh! You’re so romantic, I go frantic at the views You’ve got a way of making love that Wally Reid knows nothing of And the lady that you’re wooing Don’t know what you’re doing You must have taken lessons from a turtle dove I saw you playing “Heavy lover,” out on the desert of Sahara in “The Sheik” Just think of all the ground you cover, I saw you making love in Frisco that same week But when you walk upon the curtain, I’ll say you certainly do know the kind to choose, That’s why I’ve got the movie scene, oh! The you know what I mean, oh! The Rodolph Valentino blues.
