Don't Ask 1926 'Oh, Kay'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Aug 2003

[Potter:] If you're looking for a playmate,
there's a chap whose praises I'd sing.
You will find that he's a gay mate,
if you care for that sort of thing.
You'll be feeling dizzy
when you've kissed him,
and you'll murmur: "Oh, is this a system!"
Who is the guy, oh me oh my,
thinks you're peaches and pie?
Don't ask!
Who is the chap?
Who is the sap;
love all over his map?
Don't ask!
Moon and stars, stars and moon,
heaven above;
lady, lady someone's in love.
Oh, who is the sheik
who'd make you weak
with his parlor technique?
Don't ask!

[Dolly, Phil:] Are you sure
he won't mislead us?
[Potter:] Maybe it'll pay to take a chance.
[Dolly, Phil:] Is satisfaction guaranteed us?
[Potter:] You can count on that in advance.
He's the sort of chap to set your cap for;
He's the sort of bird the flappers flap for.

[Potter:] Who is the miss who'd like a kiss?
[Girls:] If you have to know this, don't ask!
[Potter:] Is there a Lil who'd like a thrill?
[Girl:] Be yourself, don't be sill; don't ask!
But oh my, she is shy,
what will she do?
Laddie, laddie, it's up to you.
[Potter:] Say, no use to sigh;
come on and try.
[Girls:] But will he satisfy?
[Potter:] Don't ask!
