In 1908, the Shapiro Music Company published “Oh, You Kid!”, a typical comic-courtship song: a catchy trifle, carrying a whiff of sex, but moderate in temperature and tempo.
Oh, you kid! Oh, you kid! Come now, say you’ll let me cuddle closer Nod your head but don’t you answer “No sir” Oh, you kid! Oh, you kid! I mean every word I’ve ever told you Kiss me quick or else I’ll have to scold you Oh, you kid!
