Beautiful Girls
[ROSCOE]
Hats off
Here they come, those
Beautiful girls
That's what you've been waiting for
Nature never fashioned
A flower so fair
No rose can compare—
Nothing respectable
Half so delectable
Cheer them
In their glory
Diamonds and pearls
Dazzling jewels by the score
This is what beauty can be
Beauty celestial
The best, you'll
Agree:
All for you, these beautiful girls!
[ROSCOE & GUESTS]
Careful
Here's the home of
Beautiful girls
Where your reason is undone
Beauty can't be hindered
From taking its toll
You may lose control
Faced with these Loreleis
What man can moralize?
Caution
On your guard with
Beautiful girls
Flawless charmers, every one
This is how Samson was shorn;
Each in her style a
Delilah
Reborn!
Each a gem, a beautiful
Diadem of beautiful—
Welcome them
[ROSCOE]
These beautiful
[ROSCOE & GUESTS]
Girls!
