One Little Girlie Can Do 1917

History is full of deeds
that famous men have done,
Like Napoleon
and Thomas Edison,
we can brag about them,
but remember by the way,
the great big things
some little girl
is doing ev'ry day.

One little girl
drives a dozen men wild,
One little girl
makes an old man a child.
One little kiss
and you jump to the sky,
one look like this
and you're ready to die.
One little girl
makes your bankbook a sight,
and though your rent's overdue,
Still you buy diamond rings
Oh, what wonderful things
One little girlie can do.

One little girl
acts so simple and shy,
seems like an angel
just out of the sky.
You promise her that
you'll give her a ring,
She makes believe
that she don't know a thing.
Gives you your way
and you say to yourself
"This is too good to be true?"
and you think it's great sport,
till she drags you in court,
Oh, what wonderful things she can do.

Still we hear the women shouting:
"We want Liberty,
and we must be free
from man's tyranny!"
"They must give us equal rights
why should we be the goats?"
But they forget,
one girl can do,
more than a thousand votes.

One little girl
drives a dozen men wild,
One little girl
makes an old man a child.
One little kiss
and you jump to the sky,
one look like this
and you're ready to die.
One little girl
makes your bankbook a sight,
and though your rent's overdue,
Still you buy diamond rings
Oh, what wonderful things
One little girlie can do.

Some little girls take a mighty big chance
one little girl led the soldiers of France,
Many a girl gladly gives ev'rything,
just for her Country,
her Flag and her King.
And Miss America
she'll do the same,
for the old Red, White, and Blue,
in the hour of need
Oh, what wonderful deeds
you little girlies can do.
