Oh Will You Be My Honey Babe? (a Ragtime Song)
----------------------------------------------
VERSE
I'm so in love with you, I can't deny
That you are my sweetums, and I'd just die
If you went away, I couldn't say
What I might do if you forsake me.
All day long I'm thinking only of you,
How can I convince you that my love is true?
I couldn't survive, I'd just take a dive
If you refuse to take me.
CHORUS
Oh will you be my honey babe
And come and live with me?
We'll have a grand love nest,
And soon there will be three.
Oh will you be my honey babe,
Just be my gal so fine?
We'll make the perfect couple,
I'll be yours if you'll be mine!

You mean you haven't always wanted to be compared to the 7-foot-tall walking
eyebrow on the Muppet Show? I'd be flattered, myself.

(By the way, #0 is intended to be sung to Grace Bolen's piano solo,
"The Smokey Topaz", published 1901.)

I'd be willing to bet you'd win that bet.

You'd have to send me a recording. I've never heard you sing, so..

By the way, there are a few MIDI files of "Smoky Topaz" on the
web. Many of them are played too fast; a reasonably good
rendition is at
http://www.ragtimemusic.com/midifile/smkytpz.mid
The "verse" and "chorus" of #0 are meant to go with the first
and third strains, respectively.
