As recorded by ANETTE HANSHAW, 29th April, 1927:


I was strollin' up and down the street
Goin' along, hummin' a song
Who'd have thought that I would ever meet
Sweet little you, why, how do you do

Say, rosy cheeks, where ya goin' with those rosy cheeks
I've been chasin' you for weeks and weeks, rosy cheeks
You surely got me goin', my love for you is growin'
Rosy cheeks, when you smile a little dimple peeks at me
It seems to say beware, but I don't care
I love you rosy cheeks

What a lucky day it was for me
I was so blue, then I met you
I made up my mind just wait and see
Day after day, you'll hear me say

(Piano Solo)

Say, rosy cheeks, where ya goin' with those rosy cheeks
Why, I've been chasin' you for weeks and weeks, rosy cheeks
You surely got me goin', my love for you is growin'
Growin', growin' my love for you is growin'

Rosy cheeks, where ya goin' with those rosy cheeks
Why, I've been chasin' you for weeks and weeks, rosy cheeks
You surely got me goin', my love for you is growin'

Rosy cheeks, when you smile a little dimple peeks at me
It seems to say beware, but I don't care
I love you rosy cheeks
Rosy cheeks, I love you rosy cheeks

That's all!
