"The Pullman Porters On Parade"br br William J. Halleybr br Victor 17453br br Music is by Maurice Abrahams. br br Lyrics are by Irving Berlin, whose name is given on sheet music as “Ren G. May.”br br Here they come down the street. Hear the br drumming of the drums--how they beat. br Hear the drummin'. Oh, my one little hon', br better run to the fun. They're parading. br br Hear the yell from the boys!br Honey, listen, can't you tell by the br noise that we're missing all the fun?br Better see that big parade, my honey.br br Just see those Pullman porters dolled up in br perfumed waters bought by their dimes and quarters. br Here they come, here they come, here they come.br br Oh, see those starched up collars and hear that captain br holler. Keep time, keep time. It's worth a thousand dollars br to see those tip collectors--those upper berth inspectors, br those Pullman porters on parade.br br Look at flat-footed Mose. See him juggling his hat as he br goes. See the struggling of bow-legged Joe. Don't he go br rather slow? Watch him stepping on the ground like a hen!br br All in clover, see those round-shouldered men stoopin' over.br Oh my hon', there's what I call some parade. My honey.br br "The Pullman Porters On Parade" William J.
