• Lyrics:
  Two hours ride old Broadway
  There is a sleepy town, they say;
  “Old Philadelphia”,
  You opened my eyes And I apologize.
  
  chorus:
  There's a quaker down in Quaker town,
  When I am around she sighs
  But down in her heart, I know,
  She's not so slow,
  For oh, oh, oh, oh! Those eyes!
  Like the waters still she's very deep
  She knows a heap, I found,
  She has that “Meet me later” look,
  And oh, she knows her book,
  This little Quaker down in Quaker town.
  
  Old William Penn, please pardon me,
  One of your sons I want to be
  You love your quakers,
  And I love one too
  That's why I'm strong for you.
  
  
  • David Berg, 1916
