I'm offering a warning to men to take care Of Modern women beware I'm offering a warning to men to take care Of Modern women beware Even the flappers we cannot trust For they're taking our jobs from us And if you men don't assert control Women will rule the world.
Now different are the ladies of the long ago To the modern women we know If you've observed you have bound to see This sex has changed entirely. Long ago their one ambition in life Was to be a mother and wife But now they mean to imitate the males Smoking cigarettes and drinking cocktails.
Long ago the girls used to be school teachers Then they became stenographers. We next hear of them as lecturers Authors and engineers There is no limit to their ambition They've gone in for aviation And if you men don't assert control Women will rule the world.
They say anything that man can do They also can achieve too And they've openly boasted to do their part In literature and art We will next hear of them as candidates For the President of the United States So I'm warning you men to assert control Or women will rule the world.
If women ever get the ascendancy They will show us no sympathy They will make us strange things, goodness knows Scrub floors, even wash clothes If these tyrants speak as our masters We'll have to push perambulators, And in the night as they go to roam We'll have to mind the baby at home.
