This Tom-Swifter,
A blab-mouth sister,
Had herself a lovin` sheik!
She had a way of braggin`
Kept her tongue a-waggin`,
With every woman she`d meet;
So her bosom friend
Vamped her lovin` man,
He quit her cold as ice;
Now she never had
So much to say,
But gives very woman this advice:
Open your eyes,
Woman, be wise!
And don`t you advertise your man!
It`s all right to have a little bird in a bush,
But it ain`t like the one you`ve got in your hand.
Your head will hang low,
Your heart will ache,
Your threatenin` frog`s
Gonna vamp and snake,
So take a tip,
Hold your lip,
And don`t you advertise your man!
What a blunder
To blow like thunder,
When you love you love your daddy so!
You better keep him hidin`,
Don`t you be confidin`
To every woman you know!
If you do, you`ll find,
Some gal will sure be tryin`
Her best to take him `way from you!
So you`d better heed my good advice,
And do like a woman ought to do.
Don`t be a nut,
Keep your mouth shut,
And don`t you advertise your man!
It`s all right to brag about your hat or your dress,
But don`t go blowin` `bout the man you love best!
Just rave about the things your man can do,
And some woman will sure take him away from you!
So take a tip,
Hold your lip,
And don`t you advertise your man!
And don`t you advertise your man!
