He's All Right When You Know Him. Sung with great success by Tony Pastor. 
The party that I sing about is called the "East-side Pet," He wears his hat upon one ear, and chews a cigarette, He sports a sky-high-collar, and a diamond made of glass, The chain upon his vest is like his features, "solid brass." 
Chorus. He's all right when you know him, tho' he's spoiling for a fight. He'll black your eye one minute, then he'll hug you with delight; He wouldn't hurt a baby, he's a pal that you can trust, He's all right when you know him, but you've got to know him fast. 
He has a bull-pup on a string, which follows him about, Policemen look the other way whenever he walks out; The only labor that he does as far as you can see, Is blowing froth off schooners down the festive Bow-er-ree.-Cho. 
He bangs his hair just like a girl, and takes the picnics in, And when he makes a little raise he blows in all the tin; At every East-side ball in town he manages the floor, Or else he's the grand bouncer, who is stationed at the door.-Cho. 
He goes to every slugging match, at peanuckle he's fly, The East-side ladies think he's sweet, they love to catch his eye; With lapel of his coat thrown back, he's just the gayest yet, There isn't any flies on him, the nifty 'East-side Pet. " -Chorus.
