All for the love of Mike : comic waltz song / by Harry Pease, Ed. G. Nelson, and Harry Tobias

VERSE 01: My sister Kate gave a party last night,/And all of her girl friends were there,/They spoke about all of the chances they had,/To marry some big millionaire,/Mary O’Brien said “girls I’m not lyin’/But I gave up beaus by the score,”/Then my sister Katie, said “listen, my lady,/What I did for one I adore.”
CHORUS 01: “I gave up Jimmy Rogers,/Who owns two garages,/All for the love of Mike,/I gave up Tim McIver, the taxi cab driver,/All for the love of Mike,/I’ve had offers from this one and offers from that one,/Now you can think just what you like,/And begosh I’m not joshin’/I’m takin’ in washin’/All for the love of Mike.”
VERSE 02: All of her girl friends just laughed right out loud,/When my sister told her romance,/They said “Kate I’ll bet that you feel mighty proud,/You sure gave up many a chance!”/After the party they felt good and hearty,/They had a great time one and all,/’Twas late in the evening and as they were leaving,/They started to sing in the hall.”
CHORUS 02: “I gave up Jimmy Rogers,/Who owns two garages,/All for the love of Mike,/I gave up a swell sailor, a doctor and tailor,/All for the love of Mike,/I threw down Tommy Jacard who owns a swell Packard,/For one who rides ‘round on a bike,/I gave up Sammy Sickles who makes warts on pickles/All for the love of Mike.”
