Lyrics
:She'd never been there before :She'd never been there before :A young man asked her recently :To come and sit upon his knee :He tickled her in the ribs :And he filled her with delight :She'd never been there before :But now she goes there every night :Me sister Sue was always such a silly little goon :She never really understood the proper way to swoon :A young man asked her recently to sit upon his knee :When she at last consented she behaved so bashfully :She'd never been there before :She'd never been there before :She seemed so proud when Mr Brown :Began to bounce her up and down :He tickled her in the ribs :And he thrilled her with delight :She'd never been there before :But now she goes there every night :A friend of mine whose husband was a stingy little man :Resolved herself to work upon a good old fashion plan :While Willy was sleeping fast that night she said I'll take a chance :Got out of bed and dove into the pockets of Willy's pants :She'd never been there before :She'd never been there before :But she was awful pleased to see :That Willy was sleeping peacefully :She only took half a buck :And it filled her with delight :She'd never been there before :But now she goes there every night :One night a burly policeman was walking on his beat :He happened to shine his flashlight in the alley down the street :The cook was standing in the door she said oh deary me :I feel so terrible lonesome will you keep me company :He'd never been there before :He'd never been there before :He gave the cook a regular treat :Along with a lovely roast of meat :He tickled her in the ribs :And he filled her with delight :She'd never been there before :But now she goes there every nightSee also
