Are you sincere? / words by Alfred Bryan music by Albert Gumble

VERSE 01: A youth and a maiden were tripping along, skipping along, singing a song,/The youth said “linger near me, cheer me, hear me, I like you too much better, sweetheart, ev’ry day, in ev’ry way, don’t you think May, like you much better, sweetheart, ev’ry day, in ev’ry way, don’t you think May,/T’would sound more romantic if I called you “dear,”/The maiden just answered “Look here, now, look here.”
VERSE 02: “It’s leap year, you know, “said the maid, all aglow “I want to know, why you’re so slow,/Now what’s the use, to tarry, marry, Harry,/If you are too bashful, put me to the test, answer me “yes,”/I’ll do the rest, I like you, I love you, I want you, I do,/Now answer the question that I put to you.”
CHORUS: Are you sincere?/If you’re sincere,/I’ll let you call me your Dearie/Say what you mean, mean what you say,/And you can always be near me,/If I give me heart to you./I’ll have none and you’ll have two,/If you’re sincere, call me your Dear,/Answer me: Are you sincere?
