Great new find!
WEEGEE WEEGEE TELL ME DO
There is a game played by nearly every family
The Craze of the Country, The Great Ouija Board Song
Lyrics by William Jerome
Music by Harry Von Tilzer
1920
(Right at the beginning of the craze! Even though it had been patented, at least an early form, for 30 years)
The lyrics are fantastic, and really indicative of the feelings toward the device at the time!
There is a game played by nearly every family
Seems to be the thing
Rich folks and poor folks play this little game to see what future days may bring
Right across the hall from me there lives a girlie dear
And when her girlfriends call each night – Why this is what I hear
Wee Gee Wee Gee tell me do
Tell me if my loving baby loves me true
Tell me quick and tell me fast is our love too pure and good to really last
Oh, Wee Gee Wee Gee you know me
I will never tell him don't you see?
Once he used to bring me candy by the box
Now he only calls to have me darn his socks
Is he true, the sly old fox, Tell me Wee Gee do.
This little board is the ruler of the nation now
Some game talk of fun right in your own home settles any little row
Most every home has one
Old maids love it most to death and play it night and day
And one made laughed and lost her breath when she heard one girl say
Wee Gee Wee Gee tell me do
Are the men who marry girlies always true?
Should the supper table wait for the ones who really love to come home late
Oh, Wee Gee Wee Gee should I swear if up on his coat I found a hair?
If your husband talking in his sleep says "Pearl"
Does it mean a present or some other girl?
Rich folks and poor folks play this little game to see what future days may bring
Right across the hall from me there lives a girlie dear
And when her girlfriends call each night – Why this is what I hear
Wee Gee Wee Gee tell me do
Tell me if my loving baby loves me true
Tell me quick and tell me fast is our love too pure and good to really last
Oh, Wee Gee Wee Gee you know me
I will never tell him don't you see?
Once he used to bring me candy by the box
Now he only calls to have me darn his socks
Is he true, the sly old fox, Tell me Wee Gee do.
This little board is the ruler of the nation now
Some game talk of fun right in your own home settles any little row
Most every home has one
Old maids love it most to death and play it night and day
And one made laughed and lost her breath when she heard one girl say
Wee Gee Wee Gee tell me do
Are the men who marry girlies always true?
Should the supper table wait for the ones who really love to come home late
Oh, Wee Gee Wee Gee should I swear if up on his coat I found a hair?
If your husband talking in his sleep says "Pearl"
Does it mean a present or some other girl?
Is it girl or is it pearl, Tell me Wee Gee do.
