a singer sang a song, sung by ed morton, edison records
[verse 1]
i attended a party, and the party was a plum
so i took her to a party; for a party, she was fun
then a party at this party, said to all the parties there
“there’s a party at this party who can sing a song for fair!”
[refrain]
so a singer sang a song
and here’s the song the singer sang
don’t you like the swing?
’tis a pretty thing
[bridge 1]
now, it so happened that the party who was there to sing
was the party who had came to the party with me
and as she was a very sociable party
she arose and sang the following selection:
“i care, not for the stars that shinе!
i dare not hope to e’еr be thine!
i only know, i—”
*cat noises*

oh, well, how do you mrs stacy? i’m awfully glad to see you
yes, i had a dreadful time getting down here
you know, my father started drinking again last week
oh, yes, he fell off of the water*wagon
i don’t know how he could overlook this party
him and mr stacy are such good friends
he’ll be awfully mad when he finds out [the free drinks business?]
will i sing a song? well, i’ve got such a bad cold!
i was sitting in front of a window last night
didn’t have sense enough to get out of the draught!
*coughs*
well, if you insist, i’ll try!
is my hat on straight, mrs stacy?
alright, professor!
“my mother was a lady
an alder—”
*coughs*
there, i told you i couldn’t sing!
yes, i’m awfully sorry, mrs stacy, yes, goodbye
