They’re either too young, or too old
They’re either too gray or too grassy green
The pickings are poor and the crop is lean
What’s good is in the army
What’s left will never harm me
Weren’t you on the bill with me
In Dallas?
Or was it the Palace?
Or was it the Strand?

How’s your love life?
Well thank your lucky stars,
Yes thank your lucky stars,
It’s doin’ fine!
Keep your love life
As sweet as candy bars,
And thank your lucky stars
Like I thank mine.
How sweet you are, how sweet you are,
How dear your tenderly smiling face,
Through days all bitter and gray and grim,
Through nights when even the stars are dim,
If there’s a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie,
You know the lady’s in love with you!
If she can dress for a date
Without that waiting you hate,
It means the lady’s in love with you!
