First
Verse
Sweetheart ever since you went away, Seems
that all my dreams have gone astray, I miss your smiling face,
I miss your fond embrace; I hope you miss me too, I love you:
Second
Verse
I received a letter yesterday From my little
sweetheart far away, She's awf'ly lonesome too, I know just
what I'll do, I'll answer right away, and I'll say:
Chorus
Sweetheart, I'm longing for you, Nothing's
been right since we parted, Swetheart, forgive me, please
do, Let's be the same as when we started; I'm wrong and I've
learned my lesson, Somehow I need sympathy, so, Sweetheart,
we never will part If you will come back to me.

First
Verse
Hello there long distance, please don't
make me wait in vain I asked you to connect me with a homestead
down in Maine. I hate to hold the wire, don't get mad if I
complain I long to hear my sweetheart's voice again, Oh, hello
dear, yes, this is me, I'm many miles away, I'm lonesome and
I just called up to say.
Second
Verse
Listen operator, what's the matter with
this phone It seems to me you never had a sweetheart of your
own. You say there's wire trouble and you've got the numbers
mixed Well, hurry up and get the wires fixed. Is that you
dear? yes I can hear, they cut us off somehow, I'm waiting
and I want your asnwer now.
Chorus
Is there still room for me 'neath the old
apple tree Where there once was a bench for two Oh, that bench
wasn't long And you know it wasn't strong When I sat there
with you. I've got fare back to Maine And I'll jump on a train
If your heart beats as fond and as true Is there still room
for me 'neath the old apple tree If there is I'll come back
to you.

First
Verse
I never felt so happy before, A little
rascal knocked at my door; It's Cupide that I'm speaking of,
I'm in love, So in love; I must confess that right from the
start; I went and lost my heart.
Second
Verse
You've seen an exhibition where they, Charge
you a large admission to stay; I mean the paintings that they
show, Fine, I know, But don't go; I've got a picture and it's
a treat; You needn't buy a seat.
Chorus
Looking so dreamy at my sweetie, Feeling
so terribly proud; She makes a specialty, Of looking good
to me, She ought to be right in Tiffany's window, She's a
jewel, I know that you'll agree. Wait till I'm married to
my sweetie, How happy I'll be; I've got the bungalow paid
for, I've had it 'speacilly made for; My sweetie, Sweetie,
eetie, eetie; My sweetie and me.
