GO BUTTON YOUR VEST. Words by George Murphy. 
Now if you will listen I'll sing you a song. If you yust addention will pay; It ain'd very shord und it ain'd very long, It's about schlang you hear every day. You've heard "Pull down your vest " und "Wipe off your chin," Und "Go lay down "und "Give us a rest." But de latest one out is when de little boys shout: "Say, mister, go button your vest!" 
Chorus. Say, mister, go button your vest, For heaven's sake, button your vest; Go and bury your feet, shave de hair off your teeth, Und den go und button your vest. (Repeat.) 
While walking along de street t'other day, I met such a charming young girl, She flirted mit me as much as to say, Come und speak-my head was in a whirl. I spoke und I treated to oysters und beer, I spent every cent I possessed, I ask her to kiss me, when she said, oh dear. Then she laughed und said, "Button you vest.-Chorus.
