As recorded by BILLY JONES & ERNEST HARE:


EH: William, me friend, would'st thous answer me a question?
BJ:  Yous!
EH: Eh, Bill, do you remember the first girl you ever kissed?
BJ:  Aah, no, Ernie, I don't even remember the last one!
EH: Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah

BJ:
Oh, my, oh what a sweetheart I've got
But she should be shot, I claim
EH:
Oh my, I hear she likes you a lot
And you ought to feel the same
BJ:  I can't love that gal, though I try
EH: Well, I wish you would tell me just why
BJ:  Here's why .....

BJ:  On Monday she takes a walk with Johnny
EH: On Tuesday I suppose she talks with Jim
BJ:  And on Wednesday she likes to dance with Tommy
EH: On Thursday she takes a chance with Tim
BJ:  And on Friday she goes to dine with Archie
EH: On Saturday it's Percy that buys
BJ:  Sunday's my only time with that bozo of mine
BOTH: 'Cause she's the sweetheart of six other guys

BJ:
Oh my, that little baby of mine 
is fickle as she can be 
Oh my, she has the boys all in line
EH: She sure like variety
BJ:  She tells all the fellows she's through
EH: Ah, but she never tells them to who

EH: On Monday I hear you fought with Johnny
BJ:  That's right! On Tuesday I had a fight with Jim
EH: Yes, and on Wednesday you got a kick from Tommy
BJ:  Oh, that's nothing, on Thursday I got a sock from Tim
EH: On Friday you lost a tooth to Archie
BJ:  Oh boy, and Saturday I got two black eyes
EH: And when that anbulance came, then you put all the blame
BOTH: Upon that sweetheart and six other guys

BOTH:
On Monday she wears a coat of sable
On Tuesday she wears an ermine scarf
On Wednesday she wears a big chinchilla
On Thursday, say you don't know the half 
On Friday and Saturday she flashes A diamond ring, 
oh boy, now I'm wise 
But those furs and that ring didn't cost me a thing 
'Cause she's the sweetheart of six other guys

As recorded by FRED "SUGAR" HALL & HIS SUGAR BABIES:


Hail, hail, the gang's all here
What the heck do we care
What the heck do we care
One, two, three, four, five
Six other guys are worrying me

Oh, my, oh what a sweetheart I've got
But she should be shot, I claim
Oh my, she says she likes me a lot
And maybe she's not to blame
I can't really love her because
Of just a few things that she does

On Monday she takes a walk with Johnny
On Tuesday she has a talk with Jim
On Wednesday she likes to dance with Tommy 
On Thursday she takes a chance with Tim 
On Friday she goes to dine with Billy 
On Saturday it's Percy that buys 
Sunday's my only time with that bozo of mine 
'Cause she's the sweetheart of six other guys
