If That's Your Idea of a Wonderful Time (1914)

(Take Me Home)
A popular song from 1914
Words and music by Irving Berlin
Lyrics
1. Johnny took Geraldine out one night
To show her a wonderful time
When they sat down in a Cabaret
He bought two cigars for a dime
“Bring us a couple of sodas” Johnny cried
When the waiter drew near
After an hour Miss Geraldine
Whispered in Johnny’s ear
Chorus
If that’s your idea of a wonderful time
Take me home, take me home
I want you to know that I’m choking
From that five cent cigar that you’re smoking
You came out with a one dollar bill
You’ve got eighty cents left of it still
If that’s your idea of a wonderful time
Take me home
2. Johnny looked foolish and said “My dear
The evening has only begun
I’ll take you down to a picture show
Where we’ll have a barrel of fun
I know the fellow who owns the place
I’ll ask him to pass us inside”
Geraldine looked into Johnny’s face
Shaking her head, she cried
