Don't Let The Girlies Get You 1910

My father, bless his soul
was very queer and droll
and he'd often say,
in his quaint old way:
'Of women folk, my boy, beware!
They're one eternal snare,
you'll meet them ev'rywhere,
with an angel smile devoid of guile,
so always have a care.'
Then he'd sigh with woe:
'Oh! so long ago,
I was caught myself and know.'

Don't let the girlie get you!
She'll tease you and she'll fret you.
She knows her book,
a downcast look,
and then she has you on the hook!
She'll always keep you guessing,
and spend her time in dressing,
with frills and curls
and phony pearls
Beware, my boy, of girls!

Said father: Stop and think,
they'll drive you off the drink,
Then he'd smile and say,
in his quaint old way:
'And they'll be thirsty too, you bet,
your bank account they'll get
for presents rich and rare.
Then they'll sigh and cry:
'Little boy, Good Bye!
I warn you have a care.'
Then he'd sigh with woe,
'Oh! so long ago,
I was caught myself and know.'

Don't let the girlie get you!
She'll tease you and she'll fret you.
She knows her book,
a downcast look,
and then she has you on the hook!
She'll always keep you guessing,
and spend her time in dressing,
with frills and curls
and phony pearls
Beware, my boy, of girls!

Don't let the girlie get you!
She'll tease you and she'll fret you.
She knows her book,
a downcast look,
and then she has you on the hook!
She'll always keep you guessing,
and spend her time in dressing,
with frills and curls
and phony pearls
Beware, my boy, of girls!
