Gentlemen prefer blondes (Lewis E.Gensler;
B.G. DeSylva)
Nita Loos has writ a story, full of wit
and sure of glory;
"Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
Borrow it at once or buy it;
It's the truth, I'll verify it.
Gentlemen prefer blondes.
They make the fellows jealous; they make 'em pay the price;.
And still, their victims tell us,
"They're Nordic but they're nice!"
Blondes are Nordic but they're nice!
When they give away a string of pearls, gentlemen prefer blondes.
When it comes to "educating" girls, gentlemen prefer blondes!
"Light my gloomy life," they mutter to 'em thickly;
"I have a brunette wife who's invalid and sickly."
So is a girl to blame if she responds?
Since gentlemen prefer blondes!
In the story, you must hand it to this flaxen bobbed-haired bandit;
She is out to dig for gold.
What she does to Mister Eisman that ten-carat ring surprise-man,
Is a shame to behold!
Just wait till you have read it; she trims him in a flash.
You'll say it's to her credit - It's rather to her cash!
Yes sir; rather to her cash!
When the female features they would scan, gentlemen prefer blondes.
When they break the Act that's called the Mann, gentlemen prefer blondes!
My! but she was dumb, this queen of Jessie James-es;
"Come, let's view the River Thame-zes!"
Yet when they're deeding over stocks and bonds –
Rich gentlemen prefer blondes!
