[00:00.09] Harold:
[00:01.05] No wide-eyed, eager
[00:02.19] Wholesome innocent Sunday school teacher for me
[00:04.74] That kinda girl spins webs no spider ever- -
[00:07.83] Listen, boy --
[00:08.82] A girl who trades on all that purity
[00:11.10] Merely wants to trade my independence for her security
[00:14.52] The only affirmative she will file
[00:16.68] Refers to marching down the aisle
[00:18.81] No golden, glorious, gleaming pristine goddess--
[00:22.29] No sir!
[00:23.22] For no Diana do I play faun
[00:25.53] I can tell you that right now
[00:27.60] I snarl, I hiss: How can ignorance be compared to bliss?
[00:32.16] I spark, I fizz for the lady who knows what time it is
[00:36.72] I cheer, I rave for the virtue I'm too late to save
[00:41.85] The sadder-but-wiser girl for me
[00:52.59] No bright- eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby
[00:56.25] Not for me
[00:56.79] That kinda child ties knots no sailor ever knew
[01:01.62] I prefer to take a chance on a more adult romance
[01:06.15] No dewy young miss
[01:07.35] Who keeps resisting all the time she keeps insisting!
[01:11.25] No wide- eyed, wholesome innocent female
[01:14.13] No sir
[01:15.06] Why, she's the fisherman, I'm the fish you see?--PLOP!
[01:19.53] I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by
[01:24.24] I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in
[01:28.71] I hope, and I pray, for a Hester to win just one more "A"
[01:33.84] The sadder-but-wiser girl's the girl for me
[01:37.77] The sadder-but-wiser girl for me
