Ts it anybody’s business If a gentleman should choose To call upon a lady— If the lady doesn’t refuse? Or, to speak a little plainer, That the meaning all may know— Is it anybody’s business Tf a lady has a beau? Is it anybody’s business When that gentleman does call? Or when he leaves the lady? Or if he comes at all? Or is it necessary That the curtain should be drawn To save from further trouble From outside lookers-on? Is it anybody’s business— But the lady’s—if her beau Rides out with other ladies And doesn’t let her know? Is it anybody's business— But the gentleman’s—if she Should accept another’s escort Where he doesn’t chance to be? If a person’s on the sidewalk Whether great or whether small, Is is tanybody’s business Where that person mean’s to call? And if you see a person, As he’s calling anywhere, Is it anybody's business What his business may be there? The substance of our query Simply stated, would be thiy: Ts it anybody’s business What another’s business is? Or if it is, or if t isn’t, We would really like to know For we’re certain, if it isn’t, There are some who make it so.
