The Sneak Novelty Fox Trot Song
Year 1922
Song by Nacio Herb BrownSherman, Clay & Co. San Francisco |
Have you heard about the Sneak, Ha! Ha! the Sneak, Ha! Ha! Ha! In your window he will peak, Ha! Ha! will peek, Ha! Ha! Ha! When the wind begins to howl, Ha! Ha! Ha! howl, Ha! Ha! Ha! In your bedroom he will prowl, then. He'll rise before your eyes And laugh in glee And dance so merrily He's got your number, you'll never slumber, For he will gloat, and try to get your goat Like a white ghost, He's in the air, when you grab him, he isn't there He'll make you shake keep you wide awake, and OH! how you shiver. Sandman comes stealin' 'round but at a glance, he hasn't got a chance "There is no doubt" says Mister Gout, "you'll pay for stepping out" Mince pies, rare bits, everything you ate Keeps a jumping, thumping, yelling "This is great" While moon gleams and the owl screams "Sweet Dreams" Just as soon as break of day, Ha! Ha! the day, Ha! Ha! Ha! Then the Sneak he sneaks away, Ha! Ha! away, Ha! Ha! Ha! While you roll and toss can't sleep, Ha! Ha! can't sleep, Ha! Ha! Ha! Goes the Sneak! |
