As recorded by LEE MORSE, 3rd June 1931:
What're you sittin' over there for
What're you givin' me the air for
What's the cosy Morris chair for
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
What did I call you on the phone for
And invite you to my home for
What'd'you think I'm all alone for
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
Haven't I got desirable charms and
Haven't you got two big lovin' arms
Ah, what're you actin' so afraid for
What did I pull down the shade for
What's the cosy corner made for
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
Now, the chemist, the boyfriend
You're not much of a joy friend
What do you think you came here for anyhow
Kindly tell me right now
Since we've been here together
You've just talked of the weather
Is that all you came to do
What'd'you want to drive me wild for
What're you actin' like a child for
What're you gettin' me all riled for
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
Come and sit beside me, will ya
Don't you wanta let me thrill ya
I assure you it won't kill ya
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
Please do something, 'cause this isn't right
Ah, it's a dumb thing, just wasting the night
This'll drive me to distraction
How about a little action
Give a girl some satisfaction
Oh, come along and let's get friendly
(Instrumental Break)
Please do something, 'cause this isn't right
Ah, it's a dumb thing, just wasting the night
This'll drive me to distraction
Oh, how about a little action
Give a girl some satisfaction
Oh, come along and let's get friendly

As recorded by NICK LUCAS, March 1931:
Will you please tell me whether
We two can get together
Or if you're goin' to sit there all by yourself
Like a clock on the shelf
I've been here for an hour
Doin' all in my power
To make you be nice to me
What you sittin' over there for
What you givin' me the air for
What you got the Morris chair for
Aw, come on and let's get friendly
What you want to leave me flat for
What you want to be like that for
What's the welcome on your mat for
Aw, come on and let's get friendly
Why have you got those lovable charms
Why have I got these two lovin' arms
What you actin' so afraid for
What's the window got a shade for
What's the cosy corner made for
Aw, come on and let's get friendly
(Instrumental Break)
Aw, come on and let's get friendly
