One day in December I'll never forget,
A charming young creature I first met;
Her eyes shone like diamonds, she was dressed up to kill,
She was slippin' and trippin' down Back Bay Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Liddy-aye-eh.
I says, "My fair creature, you will me excuse!"
She be takin' me arm, she did not refuse;
Her arm slipped in mine, I felt love's thrill,
That made it alright on Back Bay Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Liddy-aye-eh.
The very next day to the church we did go,
Which made all the people talk you must know;
Said the priest, "Will you wed?" Says I, "That we will!"
And it's coupled we were on Back Bay Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Liddy-aye-eh.
It's now we are married and children have three,
Me and the missus can never agree;
She called one Bridget, the other one Bill,
Says I, "Call the other one Back Bay Hill."
Sing fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Liddy-aye-eh.
Come all you young fellows, take warnin' by me,
If ever in need of a wife you may be;
I'll tell you where you'll get your fill,
Slippin' and trippin' down Back Bay Hill.
Sing fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Fall-de-dol diddle-dum,
Liddy-aye-eh.
