Nuthin' But 1922

Alexander Brown was a ladies man
ev'ry gal in town
was at his command,
no one could be found
who could understand
how he captured these high brows
when he swaggers by
how the gals would shout
with a pleading cry
"Daddy take me out"
if you'd ask them to tell you why
they'd all stand up and cry...

Has he clothes?
Nuthin' but
Fancy Hose?
Nuthin' but
as a vamp is he there say
he's the answer to the maiden's pray'r
at a ball
he's a wow
gets them all
boy and how
do they fall?
they do nuthin' but.

Has he clothes?
Nuthin' but
Fancy Hose?
Nuthin' but
as a vamp is he there say
he's the answer to the maiden's pray'r
at a ball
he's a wow
gets them all
boy and how
do they fall?
they do nuthin' but.

He's got ev'rything and a little more
pretty diamond ring
from the gal next door,
others on the string got 'em by the score
so there must be a reason.
Other fellows tried
but it didn't pay
they must step aside
when he makes a play
you ask anyone why he's king
and here's what they all sing.

Has he clothes?
Nuthin' but
Fancy Hose?
Nuthin' but
as a vamp is he there say
he's the answer to the maiden's pray'r
at a ball
he's a wow
gets them all
boy and how
do they fall?
they do nuthin' but.

boy and how
do they fall?
they do nuthin' but.
