VERSE 01: Women are really most beautiful things,/I’m quite sincere!/Oh, you’re a dear!/Women are angels without any wings!/Girls, am I right?/You’re too polite!/I fear I cannot embrace more than two,/One in each arm./Where is the harm?/”Safety in numbers” they say, is it true?/Say nine or ten,/Do it again!/Ladies, say “when!” VERSE 02: When man’s in trouble, who comes to his aid?/Woman, of course!/That we endorse!/Who is the case of the trouble that’s made?/Well, never mind!/Don’t be unkind!/Still, you’re the dearest delight of our lives,/All of you here./Are we so dear?/Dearer than ever when you become wives!/We’ve got to pay!/Hip, hip, hooray!/That’s what I say! VERSE 03: Women, you say that we men are no good,/Worse than you, far!/Well, so you are!/Yet you would be just as bad if you could;/Wouldn’t you, now?/We don’t know how!/We have to work for your clothes and your bread,/Thanks we got none./That’s just the fun!/You ought to work for our living instead,/Where should we be?/Soon we shall see!/Man R.I.P.! REFRAIN 01: Oh, you dear, delightful women,/Why, I simply love you all!/And I don’t much care,/If you’re dark or fair,/If you’re bad, if you’re bold,/If you’re coy, if you’re cold;/For the fact remains, you’re women,/Gay or simple, short or tall,/But I can’t suggest,/Which I love the best,/For I love ev’ry one of you best of all!/Oh, you, all! REFRAIN 02: Oh, you dear, delightful women,/Why, I simply love you all!/And I don’t much care,/If you’re dark or fair,/If you’re bad, if you’re bold,/If you’re coy, if you’re cold;/For the fact remains, you’re women,/Gay or simple, short or tall,/And I’m always true,/True to one of you,/That’s the one that I flirted with last of all! REFRAIN 03: Oh, you dear, delightful women,/Why, I simply love you all!/And I don’t much care,/If you’re dark or fair,/If you’re bad, if you’re bold,/If you’re coy, if you’re cold;/For the fact remains, you’re women,/Gay or simple, short or tall,/And I’ve always said/If I do get wed,/I shall still love the rest of you best of all! | |
