The Keyhole in the Door  
[as sung by Pat Ford in 1938]

We left early, the hour was scarcely nine,
Then by some happy fortune, her room was next to mine,
And I like bold Columbus, new regions to explore,
I took that bold position at the keyhole in the door.

I waited there most patiently upon my bended knee;
I waited there most patiently to see what I could see.
She first took off her collar, it fell down on the floor,
I saw her stoop and get it through the keyhole in the door.

Then before the fireplace her little feet to warm,
With nothing but her chemise on to hide her naked form.
Oh, do take off that chemise, I'll ask for nothing more
And then I saw her do it through the keyhole in the door.

Now all you men of science that strain your eager eyes
A-viewing of the planets that deck the starry sky
Talk of your wealth and all your worldly lore,
But a telescope is nothing to the keyhole in the door.
