She Had to Go and Lose It at the Astor

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor she didn't take her mother's good advice.
Now there aren't so many girls today who have one and she'd never let it go for any price
They searched the place from penthouse to the cellar in every room and underneath each bed.
Once they thought they saw it lying on a pillow but they found it belonged to someone else instead.

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor she didn't know exactly whom to blame
And she couldn't say just how or when she lost it she only knew she had it when she came.
They questioned all the bellboys and the porter the chef appeared to be the guilty guy
And the doorman also acted quite suspicious but he coyly said, "I'm sure it wasn't I"

But she had to go and lose it at the Astor it nearly killed her mother and her dad
Now they felt as bad about the thing as she did after all it was the only one she had
They just about completed all their searching when the chauffeur walked up with it in his hand
All they did was stand and gape, there was Minnie's sable cape and she thought that she had 
Lost it at the Astor.
