No. 7 - Song - Tommy and Chorus
| Tommy: | I am a smart little sort of a chap, Very obliging and active. Notice my uniform, buttons and cap, Neat, but extremely attractive; Though rather small, you will find that I know Plenty of dodges and wrinkles, All over London I rush to and fro, Now matter where, I am ready to go Soon as the telephone tinkles. I'm the Messenger Boy With my jaunty air and my cheeky stare; I'm the lad you ought to employ, Quite a model Messenger Boy! |
| Chorus: | He's the Messenger Boy With his jaunty air and his cheeky stare; He's the lad we ought to employ, So ring the bell for the Messenger Boy! |
| Tommy: | When you entrust any note to my care I will look after its carriage, Whether it's only some business affair Or a proposal of marriage; If you are staying in town rather late When there's a wife you should fly to, I'll go and tell her she isn't to wait, Charging you what is the usual rate, Bringing you back a reply too! I'm the Messenger Boy With my jaunty air and my cheeky stare; I'm the lad you ought to employ, Quite a model Messenger Boy! |
| Chorus: | He's the Messenger Boy With his jaunty air and his cheeky stare; He's the lad we ought to employ, So ring the bell for the Messenger Boy! |
| Tommy: | Now, as a rule, in the feminine breast Uniform causes a flutter. Often some nice-looking girl has expressed Things I'm too bashful to utter; As the remarks are intended for me, Pardon me, please, if I swaggers; Housemaids and cooks on the subject agree, Soldiers, policemen and sailors at sea Haven't a chance with a Jaggers! I'm the Messenger Boy With my jaunty air and my cheeky stare; I'm the lad you ought to employ, Quite a model Messenger Boy! |
| Chorus: | He's the Messenger Boy With his jaunty air and his cheeky stare; He's the lad we ought to employ, So ring the bell for the Messenger Boy! He's the Messenger Boy With his jaunty air and his cheeky stare; He's the lad we ought to employ, So ring the bell for the Messenger Boy! The Messenger Boy! |
