When Love Is Young Year 1906 < Click here to listen ! > Words by Rida Johnson Young Music by M. Melville Eliis M. Witmark & Sons New York

First Verse The beads on the wine in our glorious youth And life's full of fervor and zest, And the world is made bright by the light of a smile, Or the sound of the voice we love best. There's a thrill of delight in the touch of her hand, All the Earth's bubbling over with joy; Oh! the love that we give to the girls that we love, When we're boys, boys, boys. Second Verse There are various way that a fellow may love And most of us sample them all, And the older and stronger you are when it strikes, The harder and deeper you fall. But there's no love on earth that holds half the thrill, No love that has half the joys As love that we give to the girls that we love, When we're boys, boys, boys. Chorus When love is young in Springtime, And boys are youthful, too And girls are so alluring What can a fellow do? A look, a smile, a dimple, You're caught, you're captured, stung There's danger in the very air When love is young.

First Verse I'm upset now let me tell you why, Our old cat sneaked away, upon the sly My old Ma declares it is a sign that bad luck's coming, and two to one it's mine! I've been wond'ring who I am to blame for sneaking the bacon and the brawn and the can of milk and beef steak pie, When they're missing on a Sunday morn! Second Verse Every night, as soon as we're in bed, All his old pals gather overhead; Gently calling for hime to come out and play a game of leapfrog 'round the gutter of the spout. In despair, I went to the police, They told me not to feel so blue, He might turn up in a penny mince pie or With his wife, in a day or two! Chorus Has anybody seen our cat? Has anybody seen our cat? He's got a bit o'black on the end of his tail and the skin all off where he's been fighting. Last Sunday morning we miss'd him from the mat: - Puss, puss, puss, puss, meat, meat, meat! Has anybody seen our cat?

She Was Happy Till She Met You Year 1899 < Click here to listen ! > By Chas. Graham and Monroe H. Rosenfeld Howley Haviland & Co. 1260 - 1266 Broadway New York

First Verse 'Twas a bright and sunny day, when a young wife went away from her husband, who had wrung her heart with pain. On the table lay a note with the simple words she wrote: "Good bye! I hope we'll never meet again." Unto her mother she returned The home for which she'd often yearned for every spark of love for him and fled; There he sought her out at last with repentance for the past, But her mother met him at the door and said: Second Verse "I have come to say goodbye," said the husband with a sigh, "Just let me take her to my heart again." But the mother said: "Too late: All her love has turned to hate, So go your own way, your pleadings are in vain. "She is my wife!" the husband cried, "You shall not take her from my side The law forbids you part us we are wed!" "But you've broken every vow, she is yours no longer now, My daughter shall not go!" the mother said. Chorus She was happy till she met you, and the fault is all your own, If she has come to her old mother just because there is no other She'll be happy in her own sweet home.

You're Making A Miser Of Me Year 1919 < Click here to listen ! > Music by Ernest R. Ball Words by Al. Dubin M. Witmark & Sons New York

First Verse I gave you all my heart and soul, What have I in return? A little smile, a little kiss, and memories that burn. You've shown me just what life could be, My heart has heard love's call; But if I can't have all your love, Then give me none at all! Second Verse I cherish every thought of you, Your love is all I need; Somehow I always crave for you, My love has turned to greed. How sweet and happy are the hours, when I sit by your side; The love I get is not enough, and I'm not satisfied! Chorus Can't get enough of your kisses, I'm counting the few that you gave; I gloat all the while over each little smile That made me forever your slave. I save every letter you send me, I hide them where no one can see; And the less love you give me, the more love I crave; You're making a miser of me!

The Red Lantern Year 1919 < Click here to listen ! > By Fred Fisher McCarthy & Fisher Inc. 224 W. 46th St. New York

First Verse The Chinese tell a story that's full of mystic glory, of the Orient, a tale of wonderment; by the temple walls, each night, they burn a red, red lantern bright, to their ancient warrior maid they pray. Second Verse From English sire descended her blood with China blended, eyes of Saxon blue, skin of yellow hue; at the call of war's command, her heart turned to her Motherland, ever more they honor her and say. Chorus Shine on Red Lantern, through the gloomy night, Over fields of white, Shine on Red Lantern, over poppies bright, where she sleeps tonight, While temple bells to the God of war is calling, While thru the moonlight the yellow dragons crawling, Come with sword in hand, save your China land, Shine on Red Lantern, send your silver beams, Over hills and streams, Shine on Red Lantern till the morning gleams, Wake her from her dreams, Sound the tom tom till they come, Beat the cymbal and the drum, Shine on Red Lantern shine on.
