Why ask her to choose between Morals and Style?
With prudish contentions why vex her?
Her answer is just a superior smile.
Why ask her to choose between Morals and Style?
Her code is the Fashion Plate all of the while, --
She's a woman. Why would you unsex her?
Why ask her to choose between Morals and Style?
With prudish contentions why vex her?
