I’m gonna tell all you girls a secret, please keep it to yourself

I’m gonna tell all you girls a secret, please, please keep it to yourself

Why it’s a million dollar secret, so please don’t tell nobody else

Now if you’re a real young girl

And you want to get rich quick

Get an old, old man, girls

And that’ll be the lick

You know those old men are fine, yes they know just what to do

They’ll give you lots of loving, but they’ll give you a whole lot of money too

And he’ll scratch you on your side

He’ll say «Wake up you fine young thing

Give me my morning’s exercise»

They’ll give you lots of loving, but they’ll give you a whole lot of money too

And I’m just thirty-three

Everybody thinks I’m crazy

But his will’s made out to me!

Yes that man is fine, girls he really knows just what to do

Why he’ll give you lots of loving, but he’ll give you a whole lot of money too

Now I’ve told all you young girls

Exactly what to do

Now let me tell you women

If you’re over forty-two

Get you a young dude, and raise him to your hand

Cause he’ll make you think life is wonderful, yes you’ll think the world is

grand

Now take a look in the barnyard

See that old fat hen

She’s got a fresh young rooster

Feels just like a chick again

So get a young man, and raise him to your hand

Cause he’ll make you think life is wonderful, yes you’ll think the world is

grand

You know he’ll spend your hard-earned money

Make your life a hell on ea
