WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GIRL ?
(Words by Bert Kalmar / Music by Harry Puck, 1913)


Lonesome Johnnie Warner, sitting in a corner of a swell
cafe, eating his heart away because he had no girl, at
another table, sat a girl named Mable with a fellow who
Johnnie knew and his brain began to whirl
The girl had caught his eye and John began to cry.

Johnnie found a corker, started in to walk her down the avenue.
Down to the parson who would make them man and wife,
Parson Lee received him, and when he relieved him of the
marriage fee Parson Lee said never on my life, have I seen
such a miss say Johnnie tell me this.

Where did you get that girl? Oh! you lucky devil. Where did
you get that girl? tell me on the level Have you ever kissed her, if
she has a sister lead me, lead me, lead me to her mister
Gee! I wish that I had a girl I'd love 'er I'd love ER Oh goodness
how I'd love ER If you can find another, I'll take her home to
mother, Where! Where! Where did you get that girl?

Where did you get that girl? Oh! you lucky devil. Where did
you get that girl? tell me on the level Have you ever kissed her, if
she has a sister lead me, lead me, lead me to her mister
Gee! I wish that I had a girl I'd love ER I'd love ER Oh goodness
how I'd love ER If she's here long I'm liable to give away my bible,
Where! Where! Where did you get that girl?
