Lyrics
Chorus
What! no women?
What kind of a party is this?
Now where are the flappers you spoke of today
This looks like a branch of the Y. M. C. A.
What! no women?
Why they’re my specialty
To sing about Sweet Adeline may have its charms
But I prefer Sweet Adeline right in my arms
What! no women?
Well, this is no party for me
Chorus
What! no women?
What kind of a party is this?
You said I’d get Muriel so I brought my car
But now you say Muriel is just a cigar
What! no women?
Say really it’s a crime
I came up here tonight all set to hug and kiss
But heaven help a sailor on a night like this
What! no women?
Well thanks for the terrible time
Chorus
What! no women?
What kind of a party is this?
Now I like the chicken in your fricasee
But I must have chicken served right on my knee
What! no women?
Say they’re the spice of life
You said now don’t bring Lulu
‘Cause she don’t act right
But you can bet that Lulu
Would have saved the night
What! no women?
I guess I’ll go home to the wife
