THEY'VE give us a new operator here / To take the telegrams; she's pretty near / A daisy, too. Her eyes are big and brown; / And when she sets there kind of lookin' down, / As though she didn't notice things, it's queer / The way I get to wishin' I could go / And save her from the clutches of some foe.
She makes me feel as though I'd like to be / A handsome man, about six foot, and strong, / To take her in my arms and let her see / That I was here protectin' her from wrong.
