When You hear me holler S.O.S...
I’m not necessarily in distress...
S.O.S. means “Save our ship”...
That’s what officials say..
But in spite of the officials
I claim that these initials
stand for Shauny O’Shay...
Shauny with a single smile
Can steal your heart away
O’Shay, can you see?
Or what is much more important
Can O’Shay see me?

Who do they say
has a way with the ladies?
Who do they plan
as the Man of the Day?
Who in his wink
has a twinkle of Hades?
Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny O’Shay...

If he grows fonder
beyond city limits
And he makes love
till you shove him away
If he still spoons
till the moon’s getting’ dim
It’s Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny O’Shay..

Children cry, Damsels die
Ladies Lie, Spinsters sigh
For Shauny O’Shay..
And though he’s quite roue'
They go for Shauny O’Shay..

Young and gay, old and gray
They all pray he will stay
He’s quite in demand
In the city, he’s the toast of it
He makes the most of it
Cause O’Shay likes to
play the grandstand...
Better beware!
He’s as fair as Apollo..
Looking his way
turns a Nay to a Yay..
Making each heart want
to start in to follow.
Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny... O’Shay...

In his blue suit
who's as cute as the dickens
Irish eyes dancing
entrancing and gay..
Makes your heart thud while
your blood pressure quickens?
Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny O’Shay..
Who has got hair
that is carelessly wavy
Hat that must dip
like a ship in a spray
Trousers so tight
he looks right from the Navy?
Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny O’Shay..

Betsy beams, Daisy dreams
Greta gleams, Sally screams
For Shauny, Shauny O’Shay..
They are carried away…
By Mister Shauny O’Shay...

He annoys all the boys
He destroys all their joys
But, who can they sue?
If they gave his Casanova brain..
A shot of Novacaine
Would it kill
all the thrill of his voodoo?
Why is each lad feelin’ sad
when the fun’s on?
What’s a gay blade
in the shade gonna say?
Who would each swain
like to train all his guns on?
Shauny O’.. Shauny O’..
Shauny O’Shay..
