歌词
No wide-eyed, eager, wholesome, innocent Sunday school teacher for me
That kind of gal spins webs no spider ever
Now listen, boy
A gal who trades on all that purity
Merely wants to trade my independence for her security
The only affirmative she will file
Refers to marching down the aisle
No golden, glorious, gleaming, pristine goddess
No, sir, for no Diana do I play faun
I can tell you that right now!
I snarl, I hiss
How can ignorance be compared to bliss?
I spark, I fizz
For the lady who knows what time it is
I cheer and I rave
For the virtue I'm too late to save
The sadder but wiser girl for me
No bright-eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby
No, sir, that kind of child ties knots no sailor ever knew
I prefer to take a chance on a more adult romance
No dewy young miss who keeps resisting
All the time she keeps insisting
No wide-eyed, wholesome, innocent female
No, sir, why she's the fisherman, I'm the fish, you see
Plop, I flinch, I shy
When the lass with the delicate air goes by
I smile, I grin
When the gal with the touch of sin walks in
I hope and I pray
For Hester to win just one more A
The sadder but wiser girl's the girl for me
The sadder but wiser girl for me
