Lyrics
Refrain:
When they give away a string of pearls
Gentlemen prefer blondes
When it comes to “educating” girls
Gentlemen prefer blondes
“Light my gloomy life”
They mutter to ’em thickly
“I have a brunette wife
Who’s invalid and sickly”
So, is a girl to blame if she responds?
Since gentlemen prefer blondes
Refrain:
When the female features they would scan
Gentlemen prefer blondes
When they break the Act that’s called the Mann
Gentlemen prefer blondes
My! but she was dumb
This queen of Jessie Jameses
In London she said, “Come
Let’s view the River Thamezes
Yet when they’re deeding over stocks and bonds
Rich gentlemen prefer blondes
