Nellie Green met Harry Lee At a masquerade the other night He liked she and she liked he Just a case of love at single sight He took Nellie home that eve Also took the number of her phone Just before he took his leave Nellie whispered in the cutest tone [Refrain:] Call me up some rainy afternoon I'll arrange for a quiet little spoon Think of all the joy and bliss We can hug and we can talk about the weather We can have a quiet little talk I will see that my mother takes a walk Mum's the word when we meet Be a mason, don't repeat Angel eyes, are you wise? Goodbye [2nd verse:] He look'd wise, then looked for rain Sure enough it rained that Saturday "Give me three, four, five, six Main Nellie dear, prepare I'm on my way" When he rang the front door bell No one there responded to his call Soon he heard his pretty Nell Singing to somebody in the hall [2nd refrain:] Call me up some rainy afternoon Then again how's the evening for a spoon Call around tomorrow night We can then put out that fire in the furnace My mama will sure be out of town She'll be entertained by Mister Brown My Papa won't be 'round, he will call on Missus Brown Angel pet, don't forget Goodbye
