I Gave Her That (Recorded 1919)

Folks, I want to ask you something

Have you seen my sweet

She's the gal you stop and stare at

Walking down the street

There is really no use askin'

If you've seen this Miss

I am sure you've seen her, so

Let me ask you this

Did you see that pretty dress

Say, I gave her that

And that look of happiness

Say, I gave her that

You should see her flat

And her great big picture hat

You'll declare, "It's a bear"

And, and I gave her that

And did you see her great big motor car

Say, I gave her that

I love her so much, I hardly know

Where I'm at

Oh, she's a mighty pretty sight

And her eyes are black as night

But the left is blacker than the right

Wooh, I gave her that

When I'm walkin' with my sweetie

Up and down Broadway

You should see the fellows staring

Yeah, the things they say

They all claim that I could never

Win this nifty Miss

When they ask if she is mine

I just tell 'em this

Aah, did you see that pretty dress

Say, I gave her that

And that look of happiness

Say, I gave her that

You should see her flat

And her great big picture hat

Aah, "It's a bear", you'll declare

And I gave her that

And did you see that great big solitaire

Say, I gave her that

When she got that ring

She more than smiled, she went wild

But did you see her yesterday

With that baby on Broadway

Wasn't that some baby, say

That's her sister's child
