When a fellow feels he’s got to win a girlie’s handie, He will send her loads of flowers, books, and tons of candy The overhead is big; Oh, how they make us dig! There's no use stepping out that way – the thing to do is lay low You can’t win by treating her as if she wore a halo. What is your solution? Tell us if you can. Well, here's my contribution To man: High hat! You’ve got to treat them high hat! Don’t let them know that you care; But act like a frigidaire*. You’ll win them like that! Stand pat! Put on your gayest cravat, But keep your feet on the ground. Oh boy! how they’ll come around! Just treat them high hat!
