ELIZA, THE MESMERIZER. Copyright, 1898, by Frank Dean & Co. Words and Music by Harry Dacre. 
Out of curiosity I went into a show To see Madame Eliza: She was called a hypnotist-a mesmerist, you know-A perfect paralyzer. She placed me in a chair, and then made actfons such as this: I fell asleep, and dreamt a dream of happiness and bliss, When suddenly it ended, and I woke up with a kiss, A kiss from Miss Eliza. 
Chorus. Oh, Madame Eliza, she's a mesmerlzer; Hypnotizes with a glance; sends you in a kind of trance. Oh, Madame Eliza, I was victimized; I never would have married her if I hadn't been mesmerized. 
I was fascinated, for I couldn't keep away; I had to find Eliza. She could safely mesmerize me thirteen times a day, Which didn't much surprise her; I soon began to hate her, yet I followed her around; One days he put me in a sleep, a sleep so very sound That when I gained my consciousness, to my distress I found I'd gone and married 'Liza.- Chorus. 
To get a divorce I tried, I bore a kind of grudge Against Madame Eliza: But when his lordship took my part, she mesmerized the judge-She was a paralyzer! Then all the lawyers dropped asleep beneath her dreadful spell; The Court police resisted, but, at last, they also fell; Then all the people in the court were mesmerized as well. By my old girl Eliza.- Chorus. 
Mesmerizing postmen is the latest of her jokes; She is a swindleizer. She collars all the post'l orders meant for other folks-A perfect fraud is 'Liza. She hypnotizes all the men who call for debts of trade: She asks them for receipted bills, and straightway they've obeyed; She spoils their bumps of memory-they think their bills are paid By my old girl Eliza.- Chorus.
