"I'll Lend You Anything"
Columbia A915
Lyrics by Jean C. Havez
Music by Harry Von Tilzer
When the wine goes in
The truth comes out
And Simpson was that way
If you'd only stand and listen while he
Told you all his troubles
He would never let you buy all day
He'd stand and spend
And buy and lend
Till he got good and gay
You never could imagine what his trouble was about
Until he grabbed you by the tonhole to say
I'll lend you my horse
I'll lend you my hay
I'll lend you anything i've got
Take it away
I'll lend you five
I'll lend you ten
And if you want some more
Be sure and come around again
I'll lend you my hat
I'll lend you my flat
My brand new overcoat of fur
'll lend you everything i've got
Except my wife
And i'll make you a present of her
It never rains but what it pours
As Simpson seems to know
He went home one afternoon
And found his wife had asked her relatives
To come and spend a year or so
And he ofcourse
Slept with the horse
And yelled out hiphooray
So long as he was able
He prefered to use the stable
When the neighbors came around
You'd hear him say
I'll lend you my horse
I'll lend you my hay
I'll lend you anything i've got
Take it away
I'll lend you five
I'll lend you ten
And if you want some more
Be sure and come around again
I'll lend you my hat
I'll lend you my flat
My brand new overcoat of fur
'll lend you everything i've got
Except my wife
And i'll make you a present of her
