Lyrics

I know each little art
I know the manly heart
Just what to do and to say
How to put winning guile
Into my every smile
Tricks that will make men obey
I’ve made a study of
That game that’s know as Love
I know the wherefore and why
I capture nine of ten
For I know with the men
Where all fascinations lie

Refrain
Fascination! Fascination!
In a woman’s eyes
Fascination! Fascination!
Oh, the light that lies
You will do the things she wants you to
Any time she smiles at you
She’s the master of all you do
Fascinating you
Fascination! Fascination!
In a woman’s eyes
Fascination! Fascination!
Oh, the light that lies
Do the things she wants you to
Any time she smiles at you
All you do,
Fascinating you
