A Guy Is A Guy 1952

My mother told me not to talk
to strangers on the street
as years went by, remem'bring,
I was never indiscreet.
But men are men and girls are girls,
and men and girls are fools,
we're all the same so who's to blame
where nature makes the rules?

I walked down the street
like a good girl should.
He followed me down the street
like I knew he would.
Because a guy is a guy
where ever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I walked to my house
like a good girl should.
He followed me to my house
like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I never saw the boy before
so nothing could be sillier
at closer range his face was strange
but his manner was familiar

so I walked up the stairs
like a good girl should.
he followed me up the stairs
like I knew he would.
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I stopped at my door
like a good girl should.
He stopped at my door
like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

He asked me for a goodnight kiss
I said: "It's still good day
I would have told him more except
his lips got in my way

so I talked to my ma
like a good girl hould
and ma talked to pa
like I knew she would
and they all agreed
on a married life for me
and the guy is my guy
wherever he may be

So I walked down the aisle
like a good girl should
he followed me down the aisle
like I knew he would
because a guy is a guy
where ever he may be
and now you've heard the story
of what someone did to me.

I pursed my lips and tried to frown
but frowning's not my style,
I tried to pout, but what turned out?
A coy inviting smile.
I'm sure he would have kissed me
even if I had refused,
he didn't need encouragement,
but what he got he used.

I walked down the street
like a good girl should.
He followed me down the street
like I knew he would.
Because a guy is a guy
where ever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I walked to my house
like a good girl should.
He followed me to my house
like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I never saw the boy before
so nothing could be sillier
at closer range his face was strange
but his manner was familiar

so I walked up the stairs
like a good girl should.
he followed me up the stairs
like I knew he would.
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so
Listen and I'll tell you
what this fellow did to me.

I stopped at my door
like a good girl should.
He stopped at my door
like I knew he would
Because a guy is a guy
wherever he may be, so

So I walked down the aisle
like a good girl should
he followed me down the aisle
like I knew he would
because a guy is a guy
where ever he may be
and now you've heard the story
of what someone did to me.
