Lyrics

  1. None can say of me
    I’m not a constant lover
    Look how constantly
    I fall in love
    For tall girls, I’m all there
    Small girls, dark or fair
    All girls, I don’t care
    For I think that each
    Is a perfect peach
    Till the next one comes in reach

Refrain
For I dote on Dora
Then I flirt with Flora
Then I cotten to Cora
Then I linger with Laura
Then I thirst for Thora
ThenI’m nuts on Nora
Then termorrer I’m Dora’s adorer once again

  1. If I stick to one
    I’ve got to jilt the others
    How can that be done?
    You know it can’t
    For shy girls, make me glow
    Sly girls, thrill me so
    Why, girls, don’t you know
    That I’m staunch and true
    To each one of you
    Which is all one man can do
