Some Girls Do and Some Girls Don't 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 May 2005

All the girls have funny ways,
keep you guessing nowadays,
I've tried to figure them out,
they always leave me in doubt,
ev'ry time I meet a Miss,
I gladly fall,
but I'm afraid to ask her for a kiss,
and you can't blame me at all.

'cause some girls do and some girls don't,
some girls will,
and some girls won't.
If you ask her for a kiss,
her answer will be this:
"How dare you!"
She'll scare you,
then she'll meet some other chap,
hug him and sit on his lap,
I think that Solomon was very wise,
he went and grabbed himself a thousand wives,
'cause some girls do,
and some girls don't,
why, you're taking a chance all the time.

'cause some girls do and some girls don't,
some girls will,
and some girls won't.
If you ask her for a kiss,
her answer will be this:
"How dare you!"
She'll scare you,
then she'll meet some other chap,
hug him and sit on his lap,
I think that Congress ought to pass a law
to let each fellow marry three or four,
'cause some girls do,
and some girls don't,
why, you're taking a chance all the time.

Young girls all make up their mind,
that a man they'll try to find,
who's worth a fortune in gold,
and hidden treasures untold;
each girl has a beau or two,
of love he'll speak,
now would she marry him
if she but knew,
that he got twelve "boxes" a week.

'cause some girls do and some girls don't,
some girls will,
and some girls won't.
If you ask her for a kiss,
her answer will be this:
"How dare you!"
She'll scare you,
then she'll meet some other chap,
hug him and sit on his lap,
I think that Solomon was very wise,
he went and grabbed himself a thousand wives,
'cause some girls do,
and some girls don't,
why, you're taking a chance all the time.

'cause some girls do and some girls don't,
some girls will,
and some girls won't.
If you ask her for a kiss,
her answer will be this:
"How dare you!"
She'll scare you,
then she'll meet some other chap,
hug him and sit on his lap,
I think that Congress ought to pass a law
to let each fellow marry three or four,
'cause some girls do,
and some girls don't,
why, you're taking a chance all the time.
