OR ANYTHING ELSE I'VE GOT!
Castling / Holt

as rec by Randolph Sutton  November 1929


Johnny Brown's in love, that's not strange for John,
Every time I meet him this is how he carries on;
"Boy, I've got a girl, what a peach is she!",
If I stop to listen, this is what he says to me;

If she'll only marry, if she'll tie the knot,
She can have my cheque book sir, or anything else I've got!
If she's fond of dancing, got nowhere to trot,
She can dance on my back porch, or anything else I've got!

I don't want her money, I just want a bride;
Just a little lovable love and I'd be satisfied!
She can have her own way, I shan't care a jot!
She can wear the trousers sir, or anything else I've got!

When he talks of love, John will drive you mad;
When he's got the fever, gee he's got it mighty bad!
When we said goodbye, where there's we complain,
Meet him two hours later, it's the same old tale again!

If she'll only marry, if she'll tie the knot,
She can have my cheque book sir and anything else I've got!
If she'll ever marry, p'rhaps we will, p'rhaps not!
Gosh, I'll let her smack my face, or anything else I've got!

I don't want her money, I just want a bride;
Just a little lovable love, oh and I'd be satisfied!
If she's fond of kissing, I can stand a lot,
She can kiss my baby brow, or anything else I've got!

If she'll only marry, if she'll tie the knot,
She can have my cheque book sir, or anything else I've got!
If she's ever chilly, when we're wed, what what!
She can warm her cold feet on my back, or anything else I've got!

I don't want her money, I just want a bride;
Just a little lovable love and I'd be satisfied!
If she's feeling seedy and run down a lot,
She can have my cod liver oil, or anything else I've got!

If she's fond of shooting, wants to have a shot,
She can shoot my tailor sir, or anything else I've got!

I don't want her money, I just want a bride;
Just a little lovable love and I'd be satisfied!
Should this girl refuse me, gee I'll tell you what,
I hope she slips and sprains her wrist, or anything else she's got!
