| When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
|
| Said all the gentlemen «Obviously,»
|
| «The madam has the cutest personality»
|
| And think of all the books about Du Barry’s looks
|
| What was it made her the toast of Paree?
|
| She had a well-developed personality
|
| (What did Romeo see in Juliet?)
|
| (Or Figaro in Figarette?)
|
| (Or Jupiter in Juno?)
|
| You know!
|
| And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
|
| No doubt it must have been easy to see
|
| That she knew how to use her personality
|
| (A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well)
|
| (And never sit on the boss’s left knee)
|
| (Unless she’s got a perfect personality)
|
| (A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair)
|
| (Or even just a bit bowed at the knee)
|
| (If she can show a faultless personality)
|
| Why are certain girls offered certain things
|
| Like sable coats and wedding rings?
|
| By men who wear their spats right?
|
| (That's right!)
|
| (So don’tcha say «I'm smart and have the kindest heart»
|
| (Or «what a wonderful sister I’d be»)
|
| Just tell me how you like my
|
| Mercer «Rufff! |
| (Personality)
|
| Baby, you’ve got the cutest
|
| Personality! |
