Description
Photograph of music sheet with lyrics for "Wait Till You Get Them Up In The Air, Boys" by Lew Brown and Albert Von Tilzer, 1919. Photograph shows the song lyrics written by Lew Brown and musical notes made by Albert Von Tilzer. Song lyrics read: "Sometimes you try to love a girl, and she says "no" to you. It makes you feel so blue, but there's nothing you can do. You take her for an auto ride and start that mushy talk. But if she doesn't like it, she gets out and starts to walk. They've fooled us, ever since the world began. But listen, boys, I've got a little plan. Do you remember when you took a girlie out to dine? You used to buy her wine, 'cause it made her feel so fine. She'd always hug and kiss you 'cause she felt so light and gay. And I suppose you're worried since they took that wine away. But boys, it's not as bad as you expect. An aero ride will have the same effect".
