Gather Lip Rouge While You May 1933

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"
said a poet long ago,
but now some modern cuss
has paraphrased it thus:

Gather lip rouge while you may
you'll never feel much younger
why not appease that hunger
while you may
Let yourself be led astray
while you are still worth leading
so many lips are pleading
night and day.
Buzz around
as the busy bee does
cover ground
work as hard as he does,
time will fly
wait and see
some day you won't be
the bee that you used to be.
When the right one comes your way
she'll never let you waiver
you'll have to like one flavor
gather lip rouge while you may.

Gather lip rouge while you may
you'll never feel much younger
why not appease that hunger
while you may
Let yourself be led astray
while you are still worth leading
so many lips are pleading
night and day.
Buzz around
as the busy bee does
cover ground
work as hard as he does,
time will fly
wait and see
some day you won't be
the bee that you used to be.
When the right one comes your way
she'll never let you waiver
you'll have to like one flavor
gather lip rouge while you may.
