You ask me: What's the thing to do
That makes the nicest girls applaud?
I'll tell you this, for it is true:
They hate a fraud.
You will not win a lady's hand
With loud or vain or idle boast.
Because she'll see right through you, and
Then you'll be toast.
She'll spurn a low seductive trap;
She'll shy away from wily schemes.
Frank, brave and upright is the chap
Of whom she dreams.
So learn this ancient verity
If lady you would win:
Just learn to fake sincerity -
Then boy! You're in!
