Don't Telephone, Don't Telegraphy, Tell a Woman |
| If you wanna spread the news |
| theres a lotta ways to use |
| but the ordinary ways |
| are much to slow |
| there is just one thing to do |
| here is my advice to you |
| confidentially it’s the fastest way i know |
| dont telephone, dont telegraph |
| tell a woman and the news will get around |
| dont telephone, dont telegraph |
| tell a woman and she’ll really go to town |
| all my life i didn’t think |
| it was wrong to take a drink |
| til one day my gal found out and I was sunk |
| seems the woman spread the word |
| and the next thing that I heard |
| they were saying I was in the gutter drunk |
| (call a cop) |
| Telephone (no, no), Telegraph (never, never) |
| Tell a woman if you want to advertise |
| tell a woman and she’ll build it up with lies |
| Now my gal and I would spark |
| every evening after dark |
| And one night I said please be my honey bee |
| (buzz, buzz) |
| Later on I changed my mind |
| but it didn’t work I find |
| cause she slapped a breach of promise suit on me |
| tell a woman and she’ll tear your heart in two |
| tell a woman but you’re crazy if you do |
| Saw the cutest blonde one day |
| dancin' in a cabaret |
| and she swung her hips around from a to z |
| (a, b, c, d, e all night) |
| it didn’t mean a thing |
| if you haven’t got that swing |
| so she turned around and took a swing at me |
| Tell a woman and she’ll put you in your place |
| Tell a woman and she’ll slap you in the face |
