How to handle a woman, 
There's a way said a wise old man, 
A way known by every woman, 
Since the whole rigmarole began! 

Do I flatter her, I begged him answer, 
Do I threaten or cajole or plea, 
Do I brood or play the gay romancer? 
Said he, smiling, "No, indeed!" 

"How to handle a woman, 
Mark me well, I will tell you sir! 
The way to handle a woman, 
Is to love her, simply love her, 
Merely love her, love her, 
Love her!"
