'Tis years soubrette since last we met	A
And yet ah yet how swift and tender	B
My thoughts go back in time's dull track	C
To you sweet pink of female gender	B
I shall not say though others may	D
That time all human joy enhances	E
But the same old thrill comes to me still	F
With memories of your songs and dances	G
	-
Soubrettish ways these latter days	H
Invite my praise but never get it	I
I still am true to yours and you	J
My record's made I'll not upset it	I
The pranks they play the things they say	D
I'd blush to put the like on paper	B
And I'll avow they don't know how	K
To dance so awkwardly they caper	B
	-
I used to sit down in the pit	I
And see you flit like elf or fairy	L
Across the stage and I'll engage	M
No moonbeam sprite was half so airy	L
Lo everywhere about me there	N
Were rivals reeking with pomatum	D
And if perchance they caught your glance	O
In song or dance how did I hate 'em	D
	-
At half past ten came rapture then	P
Of all those men was I most happy	L
For bottled beer and royal cheer	Q
And tetes a tetes were on the tapis	O
Do you forget my fair soubrette	I
Those suppers at the Cafe Rector	B
The cosey nook where we partook	C
Of sweeter cheer than fabled nectar	B
	-
Oh happy days when youth's wild ways	O
Knew every phase of harmless folly	L
Oh blissful nights whose fierce delights	O
Defied gaunt featured Melancholy	L
Gone are they all beyond recall	R
And I a shade a mere reflection	S
Am forced to feed my spirit's greed	I
Upon the husks of retrospection	S
	-
And lo to night the phantom light	I
That as a sprite flits on the fender	B
Reveals a face whose girlish grace	O
Brings back the feeling warm and tender	B
And all the while the old time smile	T
Plays on my visage grim and wrinkled	I
As though soubrette your footfalls yet	I
Upon my rusty heart strings tinkled	I
