The Art Of Knowing How 1903

Girls will be girls,
as boys will be boys,
They each have their sorrows,
their trials and their joys;
The maid of twenty in ev'ry state
Will go to dances and stay out late,
For all the fads and the fashions
she will sigh.
She captures hearts
at dances and tea.
She knows all the manners
that aid her to please,
Her charms are many,
Her artless ways,
The party speeches
that she can phrase
enslave all men
would you know the reason why?

Just the style of a wink or smile
that agitates and captivates the heart;
You may nod and flush
or simply blush.
Allow the man to do the other part.
A look or glance
or any circumstance
such as arching up
a dainty curved eye brow.
Any little thing will do,
and the game is up to you,
for ev'rything is in
the art of knowing how.

Girls will be girls
and love will be love,
They journey together
they go hand and glove;
the miss of twenty in ev'ry town
Is fond of jewel and handsome gown.
She rules at leisure
as no one will deny.
Queen of the May
and Princess of Spring,
She's up in flirtation,
can play golf and sing.
Her chance to marry is always good,
The men adore her
as lovers should,
and always do
would you know the reason why?

Just the style of a wink or smile
that agitates and captivates the heart;
You may nod and flush
or simply blush.
Allow the man to do the other part.
A look or glance
or any circumstance
such as arching up
a dainty curved eye brow.
Any little thing will do,
and the game is up to you,
for ev'rything is in
the art of knowing how.
