Girls! Girls! Girls! 1908 - "The Boys And Betty"

What causes young men
to sit up half the night,
in an effort to raise a mustache,
what causes young men
to be freaks to the sight,
as they teeter along on the mash?
What causes young men
to spend all of their wealth
in the purchase of diamonds and pearls?
What causes young men
to write letters by stealth?
Well, I'll tell you
the answer is Girls!

Girls! Girls! Girls!
For ever and ever it's girls.
With mad eyes and bad eyes
and sad eyes and glad eyes,
with pompadour hair or with curls!
Girls! Girls! Girls!
Beginning and ending with girls!
You cause consternation
you Queens of creation,
you Girls! Girls! Girls!

Girls! Girls! always girls
girls with made eyes and bad eyes
and sad eyes and glad eyes
with pompadour hair or with curls,
sweet curls....
Girls! Girls! always girls
Dear girls
You cause consternation
you Queens of creation
Girls! Girls! Girls!

What causes old men
to put oil on their hair,
in an effort to be up to date,
what causes old men
to avow and declare
that they've only just
turned thirty eight?
What causes old men
to put dye on their "tache"
and to comb out the wig
till it curls?
What causes old men
to be giddy and rash?
Well, I'll tell you,
the answer is Girls.

Girls! Girls! Girls!
For ever and ever it's girls.
With mad eyes and bad eyes
and sad eyes and glad eyes,
with pompadour hair or with curls!
Girls! Girls! Girls!
Beginning and ending with girls!
You cause consternation
you Queens of creation,
you Girls! Girls! Girls!

Girls! Girls! always girls
girls with made eyes and bad eyes
and sad eyes and glad eyes
with pompadour hair or with curls,
sweet curls....
Girls! Girls! always girls
Dear girls
You cause consternation
you Queens of creation
Girls! Girls! Girls!
