| When I was young I found it grim
|
| To gurgle in the social swim
|
| The do’s and dont’s and loddy-da's
|
| To me were just a lot of blah
|
| I used my silver spoon at birth
|
| For throwing meatballs at my nurse
|
| I always chose to thumb my nose
|
| At smarty clothes and party pose
|
| I’ve ditched the rich and sable set
|
| To join the kitchen table set
|
| But much to my regret
|
| I can’t mingle with the social set
|
| I used the wrong fork at the Stork in New York
|
| My manners ain’t fit for a goop
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| Who put that fly in my soup?
|
| I’d rather go out with a lout to a bout
|
| Than sleep in a symphony hall
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| Who knocked my gum off that wall?
|
| When the utterly utter flows like butter
|
| I want to start pitching a curve
|
| With a silly old blighter on a first nighter
|
| I feel like a pickled hors d’oeuvres, no verve
|
| I never felt gay in a fancy beret
|
| Or wear a babushka or burse
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| Finger bowls irk me the worst
|
| They just don’t quench my thirst
|
| Mrs. Vanderpuss with greet me
|
| With a fourteen karat shout
|
| «My dear, you’ve simply got to come
|
| To my daughter’s coming out»
|
| Her daughter is a Frankenstein
|
| A dracula in mink
|
| When she comes out each stag will shout
|
| «Gadzooks, I need a drink»
|
| I’d dined and clubbed
|
| I’ve elbow rubbed from Yonkers to Cheyenne
|
| 'Foo' to you bud, take your blue blood
|
| And stick it in your fountain pen
|
| I wanna brush all the blush in the gush
|
| I’d rather get left than be right
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| Anyone here wanna fight?
|
| None of me fits with the wits at the Ritz
|
| I’d rather relax on a stool
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| Anyone wanna shoot pool?
|
| When a cookie with cabbage gets too savage
|
| I’ll wrestle him three out of four
|
| I would rather a sailor hop in my trailer
|
| And show me his nautical lore
|
| Why sure
|
| The ladies in frills only fill me with chills
|
| They’re soft as a ball of chenille
|
| I’m just a square in the social circle
|
| I’ve got a muscle of steel
|
| Anyone here want to feel?
|
| I’m as square as a pear in a boutonniere
|
| Fancy silk won’t stay on
|
| I’m designed for rayon
|
| But I just don’t seem to care
|
| I’m a square |
