I've
knocked around this world a bit, and I have boy-and-girled a bit.
I'm
sure you will agree I'm
an authority.
There's
dames some fellas woo,
some won't.
There's thems that do and thems that don't...
Well thems that
don't are now in
the minority.
***********************
Loosen up, be yourself. Couldn't you just see yourself
With a dame in satin, a cane and hat in your hand.
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
Now love is fine but lovers who would rather do what lovers
do
They
don't
make matches, they just take catch as catch can.
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
If
you're a gigolo, you get a big
hello
From Chorus Sadies.
But
pass 'em
over, man, cause Casanova can
Love leadin' ladies.
Don't
be a sap.
A lot more dames who want your lap but not your name
Give you more than marrying or torch carrying can.
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
***********************
Suppose
a gal's
a smart coquette. She thinks she's playin' hard to
get.
If
you go for her, don't take no for her answer.
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
She says "You've
got to marry me!" But you're no ordinary he.
Caress
this chicken and soon she's lickin' your hand.
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
When you are old and gray you may
be out of play
But you can brave it.
If
while you've got the spark keep shootin' in the dark!
No way to save it.
It's
not too late to change your style. If you cultivate that lover's smile,
They'll
have your biography, like pornography, banned!
Be a Lover Man, Be a Lover Man.
