I Love Not One But All 1914 'The Only Girl'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Feb 2004

Some may wed and settle down,
but where's the fun
among so many girls
to love but one!
Pretty girl or witty girl!
Coquette or prude!
Why not have a diff'rent one
for each diff'rent mood!
I'm really quite impartial,
for be it understood

I love not one but all of them
of ev'ry sort and style!
Of a slender blonde I am very fond,
for a big brunette
I would go in debt!
And that Titian red on a shapely head
is a shade for which I would fall!
So I think I'll just mingle
among them while single
and love not one but all!

Thus to me variety affords a charm.
To you, today, I'm true,
so where's the harm?
If tomorrow I forget and seem to stray,
don't think me inconstant, please,
that is just my way!
The girls are all so charming
that I can simply say:

I love not one but all of them
of ev'ry sort and style!
Of a slender blonde I am very fond,
for a big brunette
I would go in debt!
And that Titian red on a shapely head
is a shade for which I would fall!
So I think I'll just mingle
among them while single
and love not one but all!
