She has pockets in her jacket;
She hes pockets in her dress;
She has pockets in her boomers
And most everywhere, / guess,
And she thrusts her dainty fingers
In way that makes me start
In the little inside pocket
That lies just above her heart,
For not long ago gave to her
A photograph Of mine,
And she vowed that on her bosom
IL forever should recline.
But her tantalizing manner
Often fills mo with despair,
Till my heart grows weary, longing
Just to know that IL is there.
