"Somebody Else Is Gettin' It" br br Eddie Morton br br Victor 17151 br br 1912 br br I kept company with a pearl--used to call her br "my dear girl." Spent my money on her, you br see, and I thought that she’d marry me. br br When I lost my job one day, she said, “Goodbye! br On your way!” Now she’s got another beau. br br A friend of mine with lots of dough! br br Somebody else is gettin’ it, gettin’ it br Right where his collar ought to be. br Somebody else is gettin’ it, gettin’ it, br Right where the chicken got the A X E. br br Somebody else thinks he’s in fine. br But he’ll get his where I got mine. br Somebody else is gettin’ it, gettin’ it, br Right where she handed it to me. br br I was awfully good to her when I drew my fifteen per br Ev’ry saturday night we’d go br To a café concert show.
