Lyrics
Chorus 1.
You’ll have to put a nightie on Aphrodite
To keep all the married men home
These winter nights she’s apt to catch a cold
That’s not the only thing she’ll catch, I’m told
Why just a slight description of this Egyptian
Makes papa leave mama alone
The bald heads sitting down in bald headed row
Take one look and then their hair starts to grow
You’ll have to put a nightie on Aphrodite
To keep all the married men home
Chorus 2.
You’ll have to put a nightie on Aphrodite
To keep all the married men home
These winter nights she’s apt to catch a cold
That’s not the only thing she’ll catch, I’m told
Why just a slight description of this Egyptian
Makes papa leave mama alone
One guy who never paid a nickel before
Paid ten dollars and he didn’t get sore
You’ll have to put a nightie on Aphrodite
To keep all the married men home
