SITTING BESIDE O’ YOU
(Jack Waller, Joseph Tunbridge, Robert Weston, Bert Lee)


Jack Jackson & His Orchestra
V. Fred Latham
Recorded 24th September 1934



There are you, and here am I
I’m sitting beside o’ you
You’re sitting beside o’ me
We’re sitting beside each other
Isn’t it fine.
And I hope that by and by
I’ll cuddle up close to you
You’ll cuddle up close to me
We’ll cuddle up one another
When you are mine.
While we’re here I’m dreaming, dear
Of honeymoons and sunny afternoons
In the shade where tea is laid
Where little cups and saucers
and the spoons all seem to 
Sing to me in harmony
A couple o’ lumps for you
A couple o’ lumps for me
But I shall get all the cream, dear
Sitting beside o’ you.
