Cecilia - The Pied Pipers, Johnny Mercer

Little Miss Cecilia Green

Little over sweet sixteen

But the cutest flapper that you’ve ever seen

When the fellows pass her by

She will always wink her eye

When she talks to them

When she walks with them

This is what they’ll cry

Does your mother know you’re out Cecilia?

Does she know that I’m about to steal you?

Oh my when I look in your eyes

Something tells me you and I should get together

How bout a little kiss Cecilia

Just a kiss you’ll never miss Cecilia

Why do we two keep on wasting time?

Oh Cecilia

Say that you’ll be mine

Many funny things occur

While the boys are courting her

I refer to one case in particular

She went with a boy named Joe

Who was always lisping so

When he’d ask this miss

For a little kiss it would sound just like this

Doeth your mother know you’re out The-thiel-yuh

Doeth thee know that I’m about to thteal «yuh»

Oh my when I look in your eyth

I feel very you know tho un-neth-the-tha-ry

How about a little kiss The-thiel-yuh

Jutht a kith you’ll never mith The-thiel-yuh

Why do we two keep on wathting time?

Oh The-thiel-yuh

Thay that you’ll be mine

Mine How about a little kith, the thiel yuh

Jutht a kith you’ll never mith, the thiel yuh

Why do we two keep on wathing time

Oh, the theil yuh
