Margaret Young -- Me And The Boyfriend (1924)
-- A much jazzier version than the Jane Green recording with slightly different lyrics.


You have heard of Cleopatra and Mark Antony
She in love with he, he in love with she
Romeo and Juliet were such a loving pair
But I must declare none of them compare with

Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
We stick together like sap to a tree
He's like a diamond, a little bit rough
When he starts loving he shines with his stuff

Sometimes we battle like all sweethearts do
After the battle, Oh Gee!
We sit in the park and get that kiss in the dark
I mean the boyfriend and me

Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
We love each others like Russians love tea
We go to ballgames and fights you can bet
We don't miss nothing if passes we get

He drives a car for some big millionaire
And after hours, Oh Gee!
The country is grand and how he drives with one hand!
I mean that boyfriend and me

Me and the boyfriend, the boyfriend and me
I'm only twenty and he's fifty-three
He calls me "mother" and I call him "son"
When we're together, Oh ain't we got fun!

I sit on his knee and he sits on mine
It's just a picnic, Oh Gee!
He's a little tad fey, outside of that he's okay
I mean the boyfriend and me
