THE GERMAN MASHER. Copyright, 1883, by Will H. Kennedy. As sung by John W. Ransone in "Across the Atlantic." 
I vas a masher as you can plainly see, Ven I walk out upon dot street de gals all wink at me; Dey write love letters, fifty every day. Ven I go out now dis is what dey say: "There goes a masher, a German masher," Und all de girls dey cry, dot's when I pass dem by: "Now, ain't he pretty," ' And "He's so witty," Oh! you'll hear that talk all over in de city. 
Chorus. "There goes a masher, a German masher," Und all de girls dey cry, dot's when I pass dera by: "Now, ain't he pretty," and "He's so witty," Oh! you'll hear dot talk all over in de city. 
I stood by der corner on every Saturday, A-mashing pretty girls as dey come from de matinee, I was de boss flirter mit der handkerchief so gay; I'll told you now what happened to me one day. 'Twas in de evening and I vas flirting, Just den a girl came by; I touched her on de arm; 'Twas love at first sight, I was a little tight, Now it happened dot her father vas a policeman. 
Spoken (after 2d verse only).-Yes! he vas a bolicemans, und as we walked down de street to de station-house, you could hear de girls all whispering to each other:- Chorus.
