  *++Lyrics:|\\
Of course ev'ry boy has a sweetheart,\\
And some boys they have two or three;\\
Of all the girls in this great city,\\
There is only one "in it" with me;\\
She lives with her folks on the Bow'ry,\\
A few doors away from Canal;\\
And helps to support her old mother,\\
Does my little Bow'ry gal!\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
My pearl is a Bow'ry girl,\\
She's all the world to me;\\
She's "in it" with any the girls round the town,\\
And a "corking good looker!" See!\\
At Walhalla Hall, why she kills them all,\\
As waltzing together we twirl,\\
She sets them all crazy, a "spieler", a "daisy,"\\
My Pearl's a Bow'ry girl.\\
\\
In summer, we go down to "Coney's"\\
Together, we stroll 'long the beach;\\
And sometimes we go in the ocean,\\
For at swimming, you bet, she's a "peach!"\\
The other boys, of me are jealous,\\
But with me, why, that "cuts no ice!"\\
I'm goin' to lead Pearl to the altar\\
As soon as I gets the price!\\
\\
