Lyrics

Refrain
Now and then a very sporty fellow will
Let me keep the change out of a dollar bill
He’s the kind that always hangs around till late
And invariably tries to make a date
Does he get it?
Listen pets, all that anybody ever
Ever gets from me is cigarettes

Refrain
Once I met a charming and romantic gent
He was full of sympathy and sentiment
He said, “I’ve been waiting for a chance like this”
Then he asked me for a little hug and kiss
Did he get it?
Listen pets, all that anybody ever
Ever gets from me is cigarettes

Refrain
Once I met a playboy from Park Avenue
Quite a bright young socialite whose blood is blue
He looked in my eyes and sighed romantic’ly
Then he tried to borrow twenty bucks from me
Did he get it?
Listen pets, all that anybody ever
Ever gets from me is cigarettes
