Oh, My Geraldine
Sir Francis Cowley Burnand 1836 ( London, ) – 1917 (Ramsgate, )
Oh, my Geraldine,
No flow'r was ever seen so toodle um.
You are my lum ti toodle lay,
Pretty, pretty queen,
Is rum ti Geraldine and something teen,
More sweet than tiddle lum in May.
Like the star so bright
That somethings all the night,
My Geraldine!
You're fair as the rum ti lum ti sheen,
Hark! there is what, ho!
From something, um, you know,
Dear, what I mean.
Oh I rum! tum!! tum!!! my Geraldine.
