Johnny Dove was mad in love
With little Mary Brown
Every night at eight by the cottage gate
He would meet her and he greet her
With a hug or two
Then he kiss his little miss
Upon the avenue
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
What a silly place to kiss a girl
Once in the parlour twice in the hall
He even kissed her on the garden wall
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Her poor brain was in a whirl
His face lit up like a torch
Then he kissed her on the porch
What a silly place to kiss a girl
