Lyrics
Chorus
She’s got this and she’s got that
She knows her onions
A Packard car and ten room flat
She knows her onions
She’s just a farmer’s daughter brought up in I-o-way
But father never taught her the things she knows today
She knows her Spanish onions
She knows her baby talk
She hasn’t any bunions
She don’t get out and walk
(A – – h!)
She’s got mink and sable fur
She’s the blonde that men prefer
Just a gal who knows her onions
Chorus
She’s got diamonds in her ears
She knows her onions
You ought to see her lavallieres
She knows her onions
This simple country maiden from fields of new mown hay
You should see her paradin’ along the gay white way
She stays out after ‘leven
Right in the city whirl
‘Cause she believes that heaven
Protects the working girl
(A – – h!)
She knows when and where to go
When to “yes” and when to “no”
She’s a gal who knows her onions
