Lyrics

Chorus
I’ve got those “Take ’em to the door
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more” blues
I always take them to shows, I buy them cologne
A pair of silk hose, a taxi back home
But when they say “There ain’t no more”
Brother I could smother Ethel Barrymore
I’ve got those “don’t you hold me tight
Oh call me up some other night” blues
A little hug and a kiss that they’d never miss
They refuse what can they lose?
Some fellows get more with coffee and cake
Then I get with champagne and Porterhouse steak
I’ve got those “Take ’em to the door
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more” blues

Chorus
I’ve got those “Take ’em to the door
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more” blues
I’ve read a lot of good books, I play the guitar
I’m not bad on looks, accordind to ma
I got good marks in Sunday school
But I’m just a dummy in a vestibule
I’ve got those “don’t you try to squeeze
Oh, what are your intentions, please” blues
A little pinch on the arm, that couldn’t do harm
They refuse they say they bruise
I took a girl home a quarter past three
She said “You are just like a brother to me”
I’ve got those “Take ’em to the door
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more” blues
