I'm Afraid of the Beautiful Girls 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 25 May 2005

I'm not afraid of going to war,
I'm not afraid,
I've been there before,
I have no fear when danger is near,
I'm sort of a hero, you see,
I'm not afraid of cannon's at all,
I'd be right there if duty should call.
But, when it comes to the beautiful girls,
they've got the best of me, that's all.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of the beautiful girls.
They never let me alone,
they like to get me alone,
they love me to hold them,
upon my knees,
when I was a baby they did it to me,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
that some blonde or brunette,
will pet me, and get me yet.
I know it's nice to have a nice little wife,
but it doubles your board bill
the rest of your life,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
I'm afraid of the beautiful girls.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of the beautiful girls.
They never let me alone,
they like to get me alone,
they love me to hold them,
upon my knees,
when I was a baby they did it to me,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
that some blonde or brunette,
will pet me, and get me yet.
I know it's nice to have a nice little wife,
but it doubles your board bill
the rest of your life,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
I'm afraid of the beautiful girls.

I'm not afraid of facing a gun,
I'm not afraid,
I know I can run.
I'd even face a cannibal race,
way down in the jungles alone,
I wouldn't dodge a flying machine,
I'd get away in my submarine.
But when it comes to the ladies, I'm done,
they've got my number ev'ry one.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of the beautiful girls.
They never let me alone,
they like to get me alone,
they love me to hold them,
upon my knees,
when I was a baby they did it to me,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
that some blonde or brunette,
will pet me, and get me yet.
I know it's nice to have a nice little wife,
but it doubles your board bill
the rest of your life,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
I'm afraid of the beautiful girls.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid
of the beautiful girls.
They never let me alone,
they like to get me alone,
they love me to hold them,
upon my knees,
when I was a baby they did it to me,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid
that some blonde or brunette,
will pet me, and get me yet.
I know it's nice to have a nice little wife,
but it doubles your board bill
the rest of your life,
I'm afraid, I'm afraid,
I'm afraid of the beautiful girls.
