Lyrics
You’re the smoothest so and so
Not only that, you’re mighty cute
You’re slicker, far, than the trousers are
Of my last year’s blue serge suit
I’m the softest so and so
that any girlie ever knew
Oh, I may be dumb as they ever come
But at least, I’m on to you
Chorus:
You’re an old smoothie, I’m an old softie
I’m just like putty in the hands of a girl like you
You’re an old meanie, I’m a big boobie
I just go nutty, in the hands of a girl like you
Poor me, you played me for a sap
Poor you, you thought you’d laid a trap
Well dear, I think it’s time you knew
You’ve done just what I wanted you to
Silly old smoothie, crafty old softie
I’ll stick like putty to the hand of a girl like you
