The Flapper 1922

I never pine for a clinging vine
they never make me fall
a Broadway Rose
with her fancy clothes
doesn't int'rest me at all.
I've studied them from A. to Z.
and I think you all agree...

The Flapper rules the world today
no matter what the old folks say
with her wooly muffler
her nifty hat and all
why there isn't any doubt
she'd make the Springtime fall,
She goes to work dressed up in silks
and makes a luncheon
out of malted milk.
So a Flapper cannot flap around too much
before her dinner
she'd hate to make a milk shake
of the malted milk within her,
oh the Flapper rules the world today
no matter what they say.

The Flapper rules the world today
no matter what the old folks say
at the balls and parties
she's like the Queen of Hearts
Why she checks her corset
just before the dancing starts,
She may live on Third Avenue,
Up in the Bronx,
or out in Harlem too,
but to listen to her line
and hear her cute pronounciation
you'd almost swear by gosh
she'd had a college education,
Oh the Flapper rules the world today
no matter what they say.

The girls from Spain
compete in vain
they'd never stand a chance,
and neither would the English girls,
nor those from sunny France,
I've seen the best of ev'ry race
and I know who sets the pace...

The Flapper rules the world today
no matter what the old folks say
with her wooly muffler
her nifty hat and all
why there isn't any doubt
she'd make the Springtime fall,
She goes to work dressed up in silks
and makes a luncheon
out of malted milk.
So a Flapper cannot flap around too much
before her dinner
she'd hate to make a milk shake
of the malted milk within her,
oh the Flapper rules the world today
no matter what they say.

The Flapper rules the world today

or out in Harlem too,
but to listen to her line
and hear her cute pronounciation
you'd almost swear by gosh

Oh the Flapper rules the world today
no matter what they say.
