At the age of nine my father said to me |
|
Son you're growing fine I'm very proud to see |
|
Soon a man you'll be with all the zest for life |
|
But your greatest test will be to choose a wife |
|
Be careful, son be careful. All that glitters isn't gold |
|
Be careful. Son be careful, movin' round toward the young and the old |
|
You must watch them twice |
|
That is my advice |
|
You'll find they're nice from far, but far from nice. |
|
Marriage is not a sport, it is no game to play |
|
Once they have you caught, it's hard to get away |
|
Behind every great man there's a woman, that's true |
|
But she has a hand in every downfall too |
|
Every lady is a woman though nature's act |
|
But every woman is not a lady and that is a fact! |
|
To comprehend the difference it will take a lot, |
|
For they both pretend to be what they are not. |
