Lyrics
Chorus
“Help! The girls are after me
Help! Don’t let ’em capture me
Curse my fatal beauty
That all women crave
They’re kissing me simple
They’ll ruin my dimple
Help! Oh, mother save your child
Help! Before they turn my hair to gray
I know what became of Sally
She just chased me up an alley
Help me keep ’em away”
Chorus
“Help! The girls are after me
Help! Don’t let ’em capture me
How those flappers battle
To kiss me Goodnight
Oh, why do they always
Drag me into hallways?
Help! Oh, mother save your child
Help! Before they turn my hair to gray
When they love me they’re so reckless
Look out, dear, you’ll break my neckless
Help me keep ’em away”
