MINSTREL CHORUSES

Cheer up Mary; don't be sighing, sighing, there's a rainbow in the sky. You'll look sweeter when you're smiling, smiling, and the love light's in your eye. Wedding Bells will soon be ringing, ringing, ringing, Love for you and I, Mary dear, have a beer, and a highball bye and bye.

Down in Jungle Town, a honeymoon is coming soon, And you'll hear a serenade, to a pretty monkey maid. And in Jungleland, the chimpanzees sit in the trees ; She'll be true to monkey doodle doo, Way down in Jungle Town.

It looks to me like a big night to-night, Big night to-night, big night to-night. For when the old cat's away then the mice want to p'ay. So it looks like a big night to-night. MINSTREL CHORUSES

Bon-Bon Buddy the chocolate drop, Dat's me. Bon-Bon Buddy is all that I want to be. I've gained no fame but I ain't 'shame, I'm satisfied with my nick name, Bon-Bon Buddy the chocolate drop, Dat's me.

Wall, I swan, I must be getting on. Git-ap Napoeonl, it looks like rain. I'll be switched, the hay ain't pitched. Come in when you're over to the farm again.

Makes no diff'rence if you're Yankee, English, Irish, Scotch or Dutch, If your bank checks there and it's on the square, you needn't care if you're here or there ; When you're rich, you're the smoke, when you're broke, it's a joke. It's the man behind the dough that gets the call. With a good supply of money, everything is milk and honey, Under any old flag at all. NINETEEN TEN, COME AGAIN.
