CIGARETTE McCARTY. Copyright, 1889, by White, Smith & Co. Words and Music by Dan Lyons. 
I'm Clarence McCarty, a man about town, I'm sure I'm well known to you all; I go to parties and masquerades, I can always be seen at a ball. I flirt with The ladies and drink champagne wine, The darlings they think I'm so sweet; They call me a dude, for I never act rude With all the young ladies meet. Spoken-Yes, ladies and gentlemen, as I walk down Washington Street every day, smoking me "Sweet Caporal Cigarette," you'll see all the aristocratic young ladies turn around and point at me and say: 
Chorus. There's Cigarette McCarty. he's hale and hearty, Always in fashion and looking well. Oh! he's the dandy, gum-drops and candy. Cigarette McCarty, the masher, the swell. 
At the polls on election day I can be seen. With a big stack of bills on me arm. Soliciting votes from each one that I meet. My smile acts on them like a charm. They say that's McCarty, what he says is right. They know that I always act square. On the Democratic ticket next fall you will see Cigarette McCarty for Mayor. 
Spoken-I was taking me constitutional ride down Beacon Street this morning on me bicycle, I could hear everybody remark as I passed along: 
Chorus. There's Cigarette McCarty, he's hale and hearty, Always in fashion and looking well. Oh, he's the daisy, he sets them crazy, Cigarette McCarty, the masher, the swell.
