Now, did you ever hear the story 'bout that boy in the boat Don't wear no shoes or no overcoat Broad told me that it happened like this He love to dive and also to fish He went roaming in that shallow boat With his head hardly rising and his eyes hard to cope Face is all wrinkled and his breath smells like soap Talking about that boy in the boat When you see two women walking hand in hand Just look 'em over and try to understand They'll go to these parties have their lights down low Only those parties where women can go You think I'm lying, just ask Tack Anne Took many a broad from many a man Face is still wrinkled and his breath smells like soap Still talking about that boy in a boat Ever since the year tooty-two Lot of these dames girls have nothing to do Uncle Sam started giving a fighting chance Packed up all the men sent them off to France Sent them over there those Germans to hunt The women at home can try all that new stunts The face is still wrinkled and his breath smells like soap I'm talking about that boy in the boat
