Sweet Violets

There once was a farmer who took a young miss

In back of his barn to give her a... (all: "kiss!")

No!

Lecture on horses and chickens and eggs

And tell her that she had such beautiful (all: "legs!")

No!

Manners that suited a girl of her charms

A girl that he wanted to take in his (all: "arms!")

No!

Washing and ironing and then if she did

They would get married and raise lots of (all: "kids!")

 

Chorus:

Sweet violets (woo hoo!)

Sweeter than the roses

Covered all over from head to toe

Covered all over with sweet violets

The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop

Or she'd call her father and he'd call a (cop)

Taxi and get there before very long

For someone was doing his little girl (wrong)

Right for a fixin' it's been my belief

That marriage will bring a girl nothing but (grief)
