Lyrics
- Girls let me advise you
Never answer no
If some handsome fellow
Should ask to take you to a show
You should, go while the going’s good
Chorus:
Seems that mostly girls while you are young
You think that you can vamp a millionaire
Love some day you’ll know is not all fun
When you find that you were building castles in the air
Never-the-less today you may feel happy and be smiling
Tomorrow you may lose your chance to go thru life a-sighing
If you’re in love, girls, I’d advise you not to wait
Oh tell me, girls, why do you hesitate?
- Let your concience guide you
Love, you’ve heard is blind
Let some fellow vamp you
And show to you a better kind
Don’t wait, don’t always hesitate
Chorus:
Seems that mostly girls while you are young
You think that you can vamp a millionaire
Love some day you’ll know is not all fun
When you find that you were building castles in the air
Never-the-less today you may feel happy and be smiling
Tomorrow you may lose your chance to go thru life a-sighing
The day may come that you’ll be looking for a mate
Then you’ll say, “Girls, why did I hesitate?”
