A Lovely Young Lady Once Went for a Stroll
When the night caught her, so windy and cold
Perhaps the darkness and chill she'd have feared
But she had her muff, so lovely, so dear
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
She walked down the street through the snowstorm and gloom
When a young man matched her pace with a zoom
At the sight of her, a smile lit his face
“Oh, miss, your muff is a thing full of grace!”
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
I know well my muff is a dream, a delight
That catches the glances of boys day and night
It's lined with pink silk, so smooth on the inside
And the fur on the outside keeps cold well denied
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
But this muff is mine, so stay back, you see
My mother told me to guard it closely
So go on your way, leave me to my route
You won’t get my muff – not for roses, no doubt!
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
But the night was so cold, and as she walked along
She yearned for some wine, a sip or two strong
The wine, too potent, brought slumber her way
While the boys with her muff decided to play
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
She woke with a sob and a mournful sound
They’ve ruined my muff! The seam’s come unwound!
The fur’s been ripped and the silk’s torn apart
My muff now’s good for naught but to discard
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
So, young girls, beware, and take this to heart
Of boys who’d wish to be with you, apart
For wine’s sweet haze and kind words soon will fade
And you'll be left with a muff, torn and frayed
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
Don't touch it, it's mine
Keep your hands off the line!
You'll ruin it, oh
I'm afraid for my muff, you know
