You gotta sing vo-do-de-o

and boop-boop-a-doop

You gotta ukelele lady

Lika she lika you

You gotta do the Black Bottom

Gotta do the Shag

And the Charleston

And the Varsity Drag

Oh, how I love the ladies

Wear collegiate, collegiate clothes

We're so collegiate

Rather be a ladies'

Rather be a ladies'

Rather be a ladies' man

Swagger!

And strike a pose

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be

Rooty toot-toot

To be a ladies' man

If you're a football star

A big shot or an also-ran

A guy whose clothes don't fit him

Or a Dapper Dan

Any man who is half a man

Has to be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

Gonna be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

Hope to be a ladies'

Gotta be a ladies'

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- The cat's pajamas

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- I'll pay you Tuesday

- Gotta be a ladies' man

- I really mean it

Gotta be a ladies' man

And I don't mean maybe

Got to be a ladies' man

If I do more of this, I won't

have strength for the party.

Why do you need strength?

Beef's curfew is 10.

I'm through with football stars

whose curfews are 10.

- My new passion is Bobby Turner.

- That skeleton?

He's about as appealing as

a string bean. He's nothing.

Yeah, he's nothing.

He's on the scrub team.

He can stay out all night.

Oh, I'm mad about him.

- Does the lucky boy know about this?

- He will tonight.

Of all the nerve, she can't do this!

Where's Connie?

- Look at that thing. What is it?

- Pat McClellan's dress.

- Oh, gee.

- Wow!

She made me fix it.

I don't have to do that.

- I'm gonna tell Connie.

- Come on, she's in the kitchen.

- Connie!

- Here I am.

- What's the trouble?

- It's that Pat McClellan.

Connie, do you know what she asked me

to do? Sew some beads on her dress.

Who does she think she is, Marie

Antoinette? Give me a wrench, Cora.

Maybe you can say something to her.

I don't know what I'd like to say.

Give me a rag, Cora.

- Here, let me look at that thing.

- Cora, give me a...

Holy smoke!

Is this the dress?

- What do you think of it?

- Isn't it the cat's?

Just out of the Ziegfeld Follies.

Where does it need fixing?

- It doesn't anymore. I fixed it.

- You didn't.

I already did it before

I remembered to get mad.

I'd better have a talk with her.

- What about the sink?

- It's fixed.

Don't have harsh words with her.

She's new and doesn't know.

You're right, Mrs. Drexel. After all,

she is just out of finishing school.

You wonderful creature!

Why does everyone love you?

Why are you so divine...

...so clever, so popular?

I sure wish someone loved me

the way you love you.

Why, Connie Lane. I was only

fooling, n'est-ce pas?

It sounded like true love to me.

Here's that burlap bag.
