Story Behind The Song
Based on the slang term from the prohibition era- a "Bluenose" was considered a prude. This song is about a man who is madly in love with a woman, and they have gone on several dates- yet she still won't let him kiss or embrace her. He is starting to become upset and sexually frustrated with the the situation, So this song is an expression of his misery and a way to persuade her of his love.

Lyrics
Oh my Bluenose baby,
you got me down.
We'll dance all night,
swinging right and
strolling through the town.
But when I go to
Kiss your pretty cheek
You back away and dare I say
turn up your nose at me
Oh I don't like it
one bit at all
just let me love you,
I know we'll have a ball!
Oh my Bluenose baby
why can't you see?
That every part
of my dear heart
wants you to be with me.
Oh Bluenose baby
you're such a tease
You'll bat those eyes as big as pies
Then blow a kiss to me
But when I go to
hold you close my dear-
You back away,
keep me at bay,
it's bringing me to tears!
Oh, I don't like it
one bit at all
Just let me love you
I know we'll have a ball!
Oh my Bluenose baby
Why can't you see?
That every part of my dear heart
wants you to be with me!
Oh Bluenose baby
I love you so.
That flashy smile
your gorgeous style,
I just want you to know-
How much I want to
Have you home with me-
And treat you right
'til Broad daylight
oh darlin' just believe
That I will love you
all of my days.
You've kept my poor old
hopin' heart ablaze!
Oh Bluenose baby
why can't you see?
That every part
of my dear heart
Wants you to be with me!
