Subject(s): Flirtation
Should her flirting prove a danger,
What's the proper thing to change her;
Shall I, marching up and down,
Stamp and tremble, sulk and frown?
Since no woman will obey,
Bid her go, and then she'll stay.
When a woman's lost to reason,
That's the stuff to stop her treason.
Sing a song of 'Flirt, my Pretty,
Flirt and flit, I need no pity;
Though you mend my shirt, or never —
Why should I be pledged to either!'
Sing a song of 'Heigh, Heigh Ho,
What care I what Women do!'
When a woman's lost to reason,
That's the stuff to stop her treason.
