Air: “Just a Girl That Men Forget 
(Married men: Sing this to the baby) 
Sweet little dame, men call you a dear. 
You may wed, lightly — a man of veneer; 
The sweetest and fairest of pearls; 
One day he’ll straighten your curls. 
Then your new-fangled sister will enter your flat 
With a “permanent wave,” and, how about that? 
 
You’re the kind of a girl 
Men love to get; 
Just a toy they employ as a wife— 
You must know — all the while— 
Their brains are set. 
On a new tangled girl 
(For an old fashioned life) 
While the “flirt” is as free 
As the boundless sea, 
You’re a slave, in the cave 
Of a fool: 
When she lolls— within her club— 
You’re at your tub 
Just a girl men love to rule. 
 
Give up your dreams, O maiden forlorn— 
Such nonsense “no system” will stand. 
Love’s too expensive— ‘tis cheaper to mourn; 
Play on—but don’t show your hand! 
Your new fangled sister may have 
The right dope; 
With a permanent wave— at least, let 
Us Hope. 
 
P. S. —’Tis a small sacrifice the capitalist system demands—otherwise I wouldn’t ask you to make it. Too bad I can’t get it in the song. Work for the night is coming, after the work; night! 
 
Hearing no applause; we will encore! 
 
You’re the kind of a man the girls forget, 
Just a toy they enjoy for a while 
For when the girls settle down 
They always get 
A regular guy with a big rebel smile 
Yes, the kind that are wise to- organize 
For the world (and the girl) — What a lot! 
When they play here comes the groom — 
You’ll know your doom: 
Just a guy some Jane forgot. 
 
The woman’s “helpfulness” is best exemplified by the fact that only five out of six marriages are failures— yet, nine out of ten men receive less than living wages. My money is up on the girls, let’s organize
