THE DANDY DUDE. Sung by Miss Ella Wesner. 
I'm the kind of swell you see, On Pall Mall or dear Paree; My waist is slim, my pants are tight, They say my togs makes my head light; My name was Boggs, but it I changed To Clarence Vere de Vere Le Grange; I'm always in a happy mood, For I'm a bon ton dandy dude. 
Chorus. I'm a swell you plainly see, The other dudes copy me; Though I lisp, I'm never rude, For I'm the model of the dandy dude. 
I like the girls, but I admit I don't like the horrid men a bit; I'm the pet of my mamma, And the ladies think I'm lar dee da. From boots to hat I dress an fait, Ain't he immense the ladies say; When they say he's charming, they allude To the styles and turnout of this dude. - Chorus. 
I love to flirt with the dear girls, To tap their chins and muss their curls; A lovely mash I always get, For somehow I'm the ladies' pet. Which they like most, I can not say, Whether my good looks or my winning way; I mingle not with the vulgar brood, For I'm a lar dee da dee dandy dude.-Chorus.
