Michael McCoy takes the greatest of joy
In the songs of the lovelier days
He hears Annie Rooney and nearly goes looney
The tune of it tickles him so
His mother Mary sings like a canary
The popular songs of the day
Poor Michael goes crazy and every few days he
Gets up enough courage to say:
Now won't you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
Please stop that trash that you hear
Morning, night, and noon
Oh I'm sick of all those ditties
About moon and spoon and June
So will you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
Will you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
Please stop that trash that I hear
Morning, night, and noon
Oh I'm sick of all those ditties
About moon and spoon and June
So will you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
She's my sweetheart
I'm her beau
She's my Annie
I'm her Joe
Soon we'll marry
Never to part
Little Annie Rooney
Is my sweetheart
Will you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
Please stop that trash that I hear
Morning, night, and noon
Oh I'm sick of all those ditties
About moon and spoon and June
So will you stand up and sing for your father
An old time tune?
