ON THE OTHER SIDE. Copyright, 1894, by Spaulding & Gray. Wort's by William Jerome. Music by Andrew Mack. 
I went to see a girl one night, and had to climb a fence, On the other side, And as the fence was very high, to climb I did commence, On the other side. It took me nearly twenty minutes just to reach the top, And in my great excitement, why I think I never stopped, And just as lightly as a kitten, quickly boys I dropped, On the other side. 
Chorus. But her father had a bulldog I never saw before, Be introduced himself to me, my clothes he nicely tore, I told him he could keep the change, to get away I tried, So I did, but left my Sunday trousers on the other side. 
One day I saw a lady, she was walking down the street, On the other side. And dressed in latest fashion from her head down to her feet, On the other side. She was a block ahead of me, and I was not content, And just to see her pretty face, upon that I was bent, So like a foolish little boy, I very quickly went On the other side. 
Chorus. Then I followed close behind, and I thought I was In luck, By chance she dropped her handkerchief, I quickly picked It up, But when she turned her face around, with fright I nearly died, For I found she was the bearded lady, on the other side. 
I went to shave my brother Jim, and let the razor slip, On the other side, Before I had a chance to think, I cut off half his lip. On the other side. I went and killed a chicken, and cut off a piece of skin, I thought I would experiment upon my brother Jim; As he raised no objection, why I stuck it onto him, On the other side. 
Chorus. The experiment it happened to be a grand success Until he raised it nice moustache, and then I must Confess On one side there was lots of hair, but poor old Jimmie cried, For he found some chicken feathers growing on the other side.
