@3Has anybody seen my beau?@1

I put the poor goofer out on the range,
I thought that I needed a little change,
And just the minute that I stopped looking,
My dear sweet girl friends started rooking.
He always was hanging around, you know,
Has @3anyone@1 seen my beau?

@3I say, Dad, have you seen my beau?@1

Which one? Why the fellow you weren't so sure
Wasn't a part of the furniture.
Maybe he's mooning out in the street;
I'd like to invite him on in to eat.

Have you seen my beau? I ask you, Mother.
The one I told he could be my brother.
Oh, dear me! Oh!
I'm kind of low...

Hasn't @3anybody@1 seen my beau?
