  *++Lyrics:|\\
By Jove it's awful jolly\\
When one goes out to walk,\\
To see the "Bon Ton" Daisies\\
And hear their pretty talk.\\
But I was shocked this evening,\\
The girl was awful rude,\\
She looked me square up in the face\\
And said "How are you Dude."\\
//spoken: //\\
Oh my goodness gracious if ever I felt a tho'\\
I'd sink down thro' the sidewalk it was when\\
she said to me, "George, oh George, am I no\\
longer your sweet honey bug Dudlet?" That broke\\
me all up, I ran to my friends for protection\\
and here I am.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
They say my girl is a "Dudette",\\
I think they're shocking rude,\\
They once used to call me a "Masher",\\
But now they call me a "Dude".\\
I'm a dude, dude, dude, dude,\\
I'm a dude, dude, dude, dude,\\
I think it is shockingly crude,\\
They once used to call me a "Masher",\\
But now they call me a "Dude".\\
\\
What cares a jolly fellow\\
What common people say,\\
For some were born for workers\\
But I was born to play,\\
My style you see 'tis nobby\\
It strikes me I am shrewd,\\
My get up's so bewitching\\
They think I am a Dude.\\
//spoken: //\\
Ha, ha. By Jove, it's quite a joke on a fellow\\
'tis to be sure. Ha, ha, ha, well,--\\
\\
I sometimes meet some fellows\\
Who've got hard up for cash,\\
Who want to rob a hen roost\\
Or do some thing that's rash,\\
But I am no such hairpin,\\
I play my cards more shrewd\\
And laugh to hear the people shout\\
"Oh there he goes--that Dude."\\
//spoken: //\\
Yes, yes, my motto is and has been ever\\
since I was knee high to a grasshopper,\\
"Let them laugh who win," ha, ha, ha,\\
\\
//spoken: //\\
Oh isn't this delicious.\\
