Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love

Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love - Pat Kirkwood/Jack Hylton Orchestra

When mommy in her sixteenth year

Was dreaming of romance a lot

She thought that she was Guinivere

And every boy Sir Lancelot

But now that mommy's more mature

And knows her way about

She doesn't believe in "vive l'amour "

For mommy's found out;

Most gentlemen don't like love

They just like to kick it around

Most gentlemen can't take love

'Cause most gentlemen can't be profound

As Madame Sapho in some sonnet said

"A slap and a tickle

Is all that a fickle

Male ever had in his head "

For most gentlemen don't like love;

I've been in love

So I know what I'm talking of

And oh to my woe I have found

They just like to kick it around

In every land children they're all the same;

A roll in the clover

And when it's over

"So long and what's your name "

Oh just remember when you get the chance

A kiss in the corner

With old Jack Horner

Means when he mentions romance;

That most gentlemen don't like love;

I've been in love

So I know what I'm talking of

And oh to my woe I have found

They just like to kick it around
