Why Do They Call 'Em Wild Women? 1919

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 September 2004

I've been around the ladies,
the small and grown up babies,
from sweet sixteen way up to sixty two.
The old maids and the cuties,
the freckled sweet patooties,
I've learned a lot
from all of them that's true.
Tho' I'll admit they're simply grand.
There's one thing I can't understand.

Why do they call them wild women,
wild women, wild women,
where do they find them,
and what do they eat,
I never saw one who lived on raw meat
so why do they call them wild women,
that's been a puzzle to me.
I've taken girlies out and treated them nice
the only thing I got was just good advice
so why do they call them wild women
when they're just as tame as can be.

Why do they call them wild women,
wild women, wild women,
Do they live home or live out in a cave,
I never met one who needed a shave
so why do they call them wild women,
that's been a puzzle to me.
I've gone to visit girls at most every age
I never called on one who lived in a cage
so why do they call them wild women
when they're just as tame as can be.

Their style and way of dressing
has always kept me guessing,
just what they are
and what they may not be.
I don't know how to treat 'em,
to love 'em or to beat 'em,
they sure have made a monkey out of me.
They all seem to keep me in doubt.
Won't somebody please help me out.

Why do they call them wild women,
wild women, wild women,
where do they find them,
and what do they eat,
I never saw one who lived on raw meat
so why do they call them wild women,
that's been a puzzle to me.
I've taken girlies out and treated them nice
the only thing I got was just good advice
so why do they call them wild women
when they're just as tame as can be.

Why do they call them wild women,
wild women, wild women,
Do they live home or live out in a cave,
I never met one who needed a shave
so why do they call them wild women,
that's been a puzzle to me.
I've gone to visit girls at most every age
I never called on one who lived in a cage
so why do they call them wild women
when they're just as tame as can be.
