A young woman went walking down the town
In a skirt so short it made the elders frown,
The elders frown, the elders frown,
In a skirt so short it made the elders frown.
This skirt it barely covered her thigh.
It made the young men to ogle and cry,
Ogle and cry, ogle and cry.
It made the young men to ogle and cry.
This skirt it barely covered her seat.
It made the young mens’ hearts to beat,
Hearts to beat, hearts to beat.
It made the young mens’ hearts to beat.
At the door of a bar the young women went in.
The elders said it was a place of sin,
A place of sin, a place of sin.
The elders said it was a place of sin.
The young men followed, hoping for more,
Than the sound of music that came from the door,
Hoping for more, hoping for more
Than the sound of music that came from the door.
They entered the bar and found out then
It was full of women that didn’t care for men,
Didn’t care for men, didn’t care for men.
It was full of women that didn’t care for men.
The women they all did laugh and shout
While the young men ran as in a rout,
As in a rout, as in a rout
While the young men ran as in a rout.
The men came out their hopes all dashed
Out in the street both hard and fast,
Both hard and fast, both hard and fast.
Out in the street both hard and fast.
The elders all laughed at their distress
For following a young woman partly dressed,
Partly dressed, partly dressed
For following a young woman partly dressed.
“Let that be a lesson,” the elders said,
“A short skirt and a flash of thigh
Don’t mean she’s ready to sell
What you want to buy,
What you want to buy, what you want to buy,
Ready to sell what you want to buy.”
