JUST A LITTLE. Copyrighted 1888. Written for Sam Devere by Joseph Tabrar, of London, England. 
When I go to a theatre a private box I occupy, To notice all the pretty little darlings on the sly; I don't like girls in long sleeves, but I really must confess, I much prefer ladies in a slightly low-necked dress. Spoken:-You know, not too low, but-
Chorus. Just a little, just a little, I don't like to behold them when they are dressed below the shoulders: Tho' it's proper, strictly proper To wear their dresses open just a little. All things in this world I think there's nought like married life, And every fellow ought to have at least one true and loving wife; But wives should ne'er permitted be to talk to other men. And men should only be allowed to flirt just now and then. Spoken:-Not flirt too much, but-
Chorus. Just a little, just a little. Such as kissing sweet every pretty girl you meet; Which is proper, strictly proper For a married man to travel just a little. I don't like girls who walk out without holding up their skirt, And let them dangle on the ground to sweep up all the dirt; In fact as far as I'm a judge I think young ladies ought To have their trains cut off and wear their dresses rather short. Spoken:-Not too short, but-
Chorus. Just a little, just a little. If they wore them slightly shorter they would always have a courter: And it's proper. strictly proper To wear their dresses shorter, just a little.
