2. "Take Your Girlie to the Movies."

Solo, Sennett.
(Music by W. H. Stainton.)

Now-a-days a courtship's just a simple thing,
Everything is straight and plain;
There's no sonnet writing, and you needn't sing
Underneath her window pane.

Just take your girlie to the movies,
To a five-reel flick.
She's no Theda Bara, but if you go home,
Just imagine she is all that's Louise Glaum

Take your girlie to the movies,
Where the love stuff is piled thick,
Then as sure as I'm Sennett you'll
think she's Enid Bennett;
So take your girlie to the movies

Though she may not always look as sweet as Blanche,
Try hard to be true;
You don't wish to crush her in an avalanche,
Of mail or males, do you?

Just take your girlie to the movies,
There'll be all you wish,
Though you may not have as many suits as Ray,
You'll out-handicap him on your whole week's pay;

If her face has just slipped sideways,
Think she's Dolly Gish,
And if she hears from us think that
She's Oliver Thomas
When with your girlie at the movies.

Though your name may not be that of friend Tom Mix,
And your pulse is rather slow,
When you want a place where everything you'll fix,
I'll tell you where to go.

Take your girlie to the movies,
Try think you're Wally Reid;
Though yon may not feel as fit as big Bill Hart,
You'll not have much trouble once
you're got a start.

So take your girlie to the movies,
And once you work up speed.
You'll soon work a slinter on your Mary Miles Minter,
If you take your girlie to the movies
