That Naughty Melody
Music by Geo. W. Meyer
Words by Sam M. Lewis
Last night I closed my door,
Same as the night before,
I heard a noise and said “Who is it?”
Some melody paid me a visit;
I said “Now don’t get gay,
What would the neighbors say?”
I tried my best to act real haughty,
Gee but that melody was naughty
Chorus
Play me that naughty melody,
It’s appealing to me,
Has me up in a tree, Gee,
When I’m awake or sleeping
That melody comes creeping
Into my room and says “I’m here,
Baby dear, baby dear look who’s here.”
I only heard it once or twice,
Gee it’s naughty but nice,
And it seems to entice me,
It always makes me act so funny,
Sticks like a friend who has no money,
Wonderful strain, that naughty melody.
After the lights are low,
Right to my bed I go,
Sometimes the pale moonbeams are gleaming,
Sometimes I think that I am dreaming,
That naughty melody,
Comes in and sings to me.
Just like a lover so devoted,
Every note is sugar coated.
Chorus
