Georg Kreisler - What Are Little Girls Made Of? lyrics

We all wonder what's inside of things It's naturally done To look beneath the hide of things And wonder how they run We know the moon is made of green cheese And flowers are made of petals And forests are made of green trees And automobiles of different kinds of metals Still, one question has us all excited I can answer it, in fact I'll be delighted: What are little girls made of? Yattaty, yattaty, yattaty for hours and hours Some lace, some bu*tons, a hatpin and flowers Her things are hers, but his things are ours That's what little girls are made of What are little girls made of? A negligé, Salomé, and lace and gingham A mudpack, a girdle, and Lydia Pinkum Some lipstick, mascara and most of your income That's what little girls are made of They're a custom of her stake And a s** of her cake They always have to be fed When they're on the make They'll make you ache They're as useful as a hole in the head What are little girls made of? A hug, a slap and and running home to mother A living room, a couch and a noisy kid brother Promisin' engagement and marrying another That's what little girls are made of What are little girls made of? A G-string, a whimper and a brief bandanna A barbie-pin, a hankie and an elegant manner A kiss like a healthy drag of marihuana That's what little girls are made of What are little girls made of? A hairdoo, a stocking and several bustles A gay anticipation and some playful puzzles A secret date and a husband with muscles That's what little girls have plenty of They mean troubles they mean joys And they love collecting boys Whenever you talk about business they're yawning They act sad when they are thriving And heaven help you when they're driving They look lovely at night, but oh in the morning .... What are little girls made of? A slinky walk with which to come at you Long red fingernails with which to scratch you And plenty of traps with which to catch you When you stroke their hair they shout: "Watch my curls!" They always want orchids and fur coats and pearls As a matter of fact the only good thing about them is ... – They're girls
