• 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!
