As Long as the World Goes Round. Copyright, 1881, by Wm. A. Pond & Co. Words by Ed. Harrigan. Music by Dave Braham, 
There once lived old Adam, and he courted Eve So slyly and coy like a dove; He was the first suitor, we're taught to believe, The accepted inventor of love. He started the fashion of meeting his dear In a garden where roses abound; Oh, there will be lovers, don't you ever fear, As long as the world goes round. 
Chorus. Where strong-minded mothers, Athletic brothers, Cruel old fathers and uncles abound, So sly under cover, Oh, there will be lovers As long as the world goes round. 
Where'er there's a maiden, with love in her heart, A longing to meet her true mate; Should they come together, oh, ne'er let them part, They'll reunite sooner or late. The king is old nature, who makes his decree To follow his orders we're bound; Oh, there will be lovers, so happy and free, As long as the world goes round.-Chorus. 
Where'er there's a soldier, that's noble and brave, A longing to fight on the field; He conquers with honor, but love is a knave, It forces the hero to yield. Oh, sly little cupid, 'tis he leads the way, Coquettishly tripping the ground; Oh, there will be lovers, so merry and gay,
