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 Mister 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 one 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 night.
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.
