She's A Mean Job 1921

Know a girlie
vampy girlie
knockout
just a bubble
lots of trouble
Blow out.
Although lazy
sets 'em crazy
Helpless...
There are reasons
I'll confess.

Folks turn round
to stare at her
she's a Mean Job.
Traffic halts while motors whurr
she's a Mean Job.
With one look into her eyes,
men go home and beat their wives
she fools them
and cools them
Telling pretty lies
never smokes but rolls her own
she's a Mean Job
and though I never heard
that she was ill,
Still
doctors send prescriptions
for Ginger Ale afflictions
she leads the mob 'cause
she's a mean job.

Folks turn round
to stare at her
she's a Mean Job.
Traffic halts while motors whurr
she's a Mean Job.
When she trips her dainty feet
men fall prostrate on the street
she fools them
and cools them
Practicing deceit
never smokes but rolls her own
she's a Mean Job,
and though I never heard
that she would bet,
Yet, Once she stopped the races
the horses hid their faces
she leads the mob 'cause
she's a mean job.

Never worries
never hurries
Spiteful,
Disconcerting
always flirting
Frightful.
Voguey dresses
lots of guesses
Gossip...
But the boys say
she's a pip.

Folks turn round
to stare at her
she's a Mean Job.
Traffic halts while motors whurr
she's a Mean Job.
With one look into her eyes,
men go home and beat their wives
she fools them
and cools them
Telling pretty lies
never smokes but rolls her own
she's a Mean Job
and though I never heard
that she was ill,
Still
doctors send prescriptions
for Ginger Ale afflictions
she leads the mob 'cause
she's a mean job.

Folks turn round
to stare at her
she's a Mean Job.
Traffic halts while motors whurr
she's a Mean Job.
When she trips her dainty feet
men fall prostrate on the street
she fools them
and cools them
Practicing deceit
never smokes but rolls her own
she's a Mean Job,
and though I never heard
that she would bet,
Yet, Once she stopped the races
the horses hid their faces
she leads the mob 'cause
she's a mean job.
