Lyrics:
First verse
I saw a shadow of a man just now, I wonder who he is, I don't know how I can escape that awful man, I never saw that face before; Oh here is comes, won't someone save poor me, Come on and save me, mister, can't you see, We're alone, yes all alone, I'll tell you somehting more;
Chorus
In the garden, let us stroll let us stroll out in the gasrden, the lovely garden, Oh I'm an awful tease, kiss me please, You can kiss me on the bench beneath the trees out in the garden, You can squeeze, you can hold me on your knees an hour or two; Now if you don't like the way I kiss you, mister, I can run right home and send you out my sister, She's an old maid, Kiss her, mister, and the garden belongs to you. In the garden, let us stroll let us stroll out in the gasrden, the lovely garden, Oh I'm an awful tease, kiss me please, You can kiss me on the bench beneath the trees out in the garden, You can squeeze, you can hold me on your knees an hour or two; Now if you don't like the way I kiss you, mister, I can run right home and send you out my sister, She’s an old maid, Kiss her, mister, and the garden belongs to you.
Second verse
I see another shadow coming there, Oh that’s my dear papa, he doesn’t care, For if he could get rid of me, Then he’d be glad I’m telling you He said my sister waited much too long, And I agree with him ‘cause she was wrong, Poor old maid, oh I’m afraid I’ll be an old maid too.
(Chorus)
