Alexander And His Clarinet
[1st Verse:] Alexander Adams played a clarinet Brought out music that no one has brought out yet Miss Eliza Johnson was his angel pet And Alexander was her one best bet Strange to say they quarreled on last Sunday night Monday evening Alexander came in sight Played his clarinet beneath her window light To hear Eliza yell with all her might [Refrain:] Honey, is that you? yes, yes Don't even have to guess, my honey, what brought you? Oh pet, I see you brought your clarinet My honey, I'm angry, no, no For lawdy sake don't dare to go My pet, I love you yet And then besides, I love your clarinet [2nd verse:] Alexander played his clarinet with vim Up to Liza's door, then played himself right in When he got inside he played and played like sin Then played her cards to see who'd buy the gin When he left, Miss Liza tried some sleep to get Dreamt her Romeo came back to Juliet Also dreamt he brought with him his clarinet If no one woke her, she'd be shouting yet Aus Songtexte Mania
