Lyrics:

Verse 1

It makes no diff'rence if I roam
To Madagascar or to Nome;
In foreign parts or on the foam,
With girls around me, I'm at home.

Refrain 1

For I'm at my prime with the girls,
Flirting all the time with the girls.
All the slim ones,
Full-of-vim ones,
Even prim ones
Make living sublime.
Ev'ry girl I see I adore,
And there's always room for one more.
I don't hesitate
To let business wait,
Ev'ry time that I'm with the girls.

Refrain 2

For I'm at my prime with the girls,
Flirting all the time with the girls.
Bold or shy ones,
Tame or spry ones,
Even fly ones
Make living sublime.*
If the world's a stage, as they say,
I play Romeo night and day.
I don't care a jot
If school keeps or not,
Ev'ry time that I'm with the girls.

*Alternate version of refrain 2, line 6:
I fall for them all.
